Brick masonry arches are constructed with two different types of units. The first is tapered or wedge-shaped brick. These brick are tapered in the appropriate manner to obtain mortar joints of uniform thickness along the arch depth. The second is uncut, rectangular brick. When rectangular brick are used, the mortar joints are tapered to obtain the desired arch curvature. In some cases, a combination of these is used. For example, a slanted arch is formed with a tapered keystone and rectangular brick. This arch is similar to a jack arch, but can be more economical because it requires only one special-shaped brick. Selection of tapered or rectangular brick can be determined by the arch type, arch dimensions and by the appearance desired. Some arch types require more unique shapes and sizes of brick if uniform mortar joint thickness is desired. For example, the brick in a traditional jack arch or elliptical arch are all different sizes and shapes from the abutment to the keystone. Conversely, the voussoirs of a semicircular arch are all the same size and shape. Arch types with many different brick shapes and sizes should be special ordered from the brick manufacturer rather than cut in the field. The arch span should also be considered when selecting the arch brick. For short arch spans, use of tapered brick is recommended to avoid excessively wide mortar joints at the extrados. Larger span arches require less taper of the voussoirs and, consequently, can be formed with rectangular brick and tapered mortar joints. The thickness of mortar joints between arch brick should be a maximum of 3/4 in. (19 mm) and a minimum of 1/8 in. (3 mm). When using mortar joints thinner than 1/4 in. (6 mm), consideration should be given to the use of very uniform brick that meet the dimensional tolerance limits of ASTM C 216, Type FBX, or the use of gauged brickwork. Refer to Table 1 for determination of the minimum segmental and semicircular arch radii permitted for rectangular brick and tapered mortar joints. Typically, the use of tapered brick and uniform thickness mortar joints will be more aesthetically appealing.
