I wonder why our buildings collapse during an earthquake...
Looks like someone didn’t use enough mortar or it didn’t set long enough.
The projecting ties doing nothing in mid air are a clue...
Can't find any reviews of their 'work', but the company still exists https://find-and-update.company-info...mpany/08201241
They put the bricks upright instead of flat.
Clean up on Isle 1.
My hands up... Don't shoot!
There is also no brick force on any layer.
If it is partition wall I see no problem with that.Quote:

Looks like he got in too big of a hurry. He should have waited for the mortar to set before he put any lateral pressure on it. No load on the top of the wall so no strength laterally. I've always said I'll never burn to death in a block walled structure. Almost anything with some heft can be used to beat a hole in the middle of a block wall. Unless its concrete filled of course! Then I'd be toast!
