A Stretcher Bond with Defects Applied to a Hyperboloid

Advances in Architectural Geometry 2012

Abstract

We present a technique to place a stretcher bond onto a hyperboloidlike geometry. Since the ratio of the biggest and smallest diameter is big, it’s not possible to make a stretcher bond with a fixed number of stones. We have to introduce defects which allow us to alter the number of bricks per row. The technique involves relaxation and a discrete optimization for the placements of the defects.
