JOINTS IN BRICK WORK

Lecture -3

CARPENTRY JOINTS
 Carpentry joint are joints
between two wooden
pieces .
 Some wood joints employ
fasteners, bindings, or
adhesives, while others use
only wood elements
 Characteristics of wooden
joints - strength, flexibility,
toughness , appearance,
etc. - derive from the
properties of the joining
materials and from how
they are used in the joints
TYPES of JOINTS
 Lengthening Joint
 Widening Joint
 Bearing Joint
 Framing Joint
 Angle or Corner Joint
 Oblique Shoulder Joint
LENGTHENING JOINT
 LAP JOINT
• Used extensively in
construction and
cabinetry for framing.
• Quick and easy to make
and provide reasonable
strength through good
gluing surface.
• They may be reinforced
with dowels or
mechanical fasteners to
resist twisting.
LENGTHENING JOINT
 FISHING JOINT
• Wooden or iron fish
plates are placed
on opposite faces
and secured by
passing bolt
through them.
• Ends of the fish
plates are slightly
bent and pressed
into the member.
LENGTHENING JOINT
 SCARFED JOINT
• Projection are made
in the end of one
piece and
corresponding
depressions are
formed in the other
piece.
• The two pieces are
then secured together
by metal straps,
bolts, fish plates and
keys.
LENGTHENING JOINT
 TABLED JOINT
• For members
subjected to
both tension as
well as
compression.
WIDENING JOINTS
 BUTT Joint
End are butted
together.
Usually glued or
nailed together.
It’s weakest
joint.
WIDENING JOINTS
 DOVETAILED
JOINT
• Uses dovetail
shaped key to fit in
corresponding
grooves.
WIDENING JOINTS
 TONGUE AND GROOVE
joint
• A method of fitting
similar objects
together, edge to edge.
• Used mainly with wood:
flooring, parquetry,
paneling, and similar
constructions.
• Tongue and groove
joints allow two flat
pieces to be joined
strongly together to
make a single flat
surface.
BEARING JOINTS
 DOVE TAIL joint
Its a form of box joint
where the fingers are
locked together by
diagonal cuts.
• The sides of each half
of the joint are cut at
an angle of about 30
degrees so that when
the joint is assembled ,
the separate pieces are
locked together.
• Stronger then lap or
butt joint .
BEARING JOINT
 BOX joint
• The strength of a finger joint
comes from the long-grain to
long-grain contact between the
fingers, which provides a solid
gluing surface.
• Number of contact points also
allows for more gluing surface
as opposed to a butt joint.

• The joint is made by cutting a

set of complementary
rectangular cuts in two pieces
of wood, which are then glued.

• To visualize a box joint simply

interlock the fingers of your
hands at a ninety degree angle
BEARING JOINT
 MORTISE and TENON joint
• The mortise and tenon joint i is
simple and strong.
• The tenon is formed to the end
of a member generally referred
to as a rail and is inserted into
a square or rectangular hole
cut into the corresponding
member. The tenon is cut to fit
the mortise hole exactly and
usually has shoulders that seat
when the joint fully enters the
mortise hole.
• The joint may be glued,
pinned, or wedged to lock it in
place.
BEARING JOINT
 HALVED JOINT
• Angle Halved
• Beveled Halved
• Dovetailed Halved
• Longitudinal
Halved
• Tee Halved
BEARING JOINTS
 Notched Joint
OBLIQUE JOINT

 BIRDSMOUTH joint
It us used in roof
construction. A V-
shaped cut in the
rafter connects
the rafter to the
wall-plate .
OBLIQUE JOINT
 Used where
members to be
joined meet at
acute or obtuse
angle. Ex. Timber
trusses

ANGLE JOINT
 Used to Join
corners of frame
• Butt joint
• Grooved & tongued
• Plain Mitred
• Mitred &Feathered
• Shoulder Housed
• Dovetailed Housed
• Housed Tongue
&Groove &mitred
CARPENTRY JOINTS
 Traditional methods of
improvement.
 Dowel: A small rod is
used internal to a joint
to both help align on
glue up and
permanently strengthen
the joint. Traditional
joints are used with
natural timbers as they
do not need any other
materials other than the
timber itself. for
example: Butt joints.
