Bond beams in load-bearing masonry walls are constructed of either masonry bond beam units or as reinforced concrete beams. Why is the use of masonry bond beam units preferred for their construction?
What will be an ideal response?
Masonry bond beams can be constructed by masons, i.e., by the same construction crew as that needed for the wall.
Reinforced concrete bond beams require a different construction crew (concrete workers), which interrupts the
construction of walls, slowing construction.
