Cracked calcium silicate brick installed

There are definitely gay bricklayers as well.

At least there are very good-looking bricklayers, not just in the diet cola commercials. But I still estimate the straight quota in this profession to be above average. In this respect, I think whether the world ends from a cunning brick would mostly be perceived as a girl's question from the bricklayer's point of view.

Since exterior walls have been built from large block stones, that is, pure stretcher bonds without headers, and statistically more of the overall static load is borne by the individual stone, it has remained the case that "Einstürzende Neubauten" is still only the name of a band from my youth :).

My concern was not that the house would collapse, but that the cracked stone would not provide the required load-bearing capacity and the load would thus be distributed over other areas, which could lead to cracking elsewhere. But apparently my considerations are nonsense, as has been pointed out to me several times in the forum. Now I am a bit wiser. Thank you.

But apparently my considerations are all nonsense,

They are absolutely understandable according to classical school physics understanding, only that in practice thousands of cracked stones, which you know nothing about, but which are nevertheless cracked, make the resulting concerns seem less dramatic. If you

and the load is thus distributed over other points, which could lead to crack formations in other places

"think consistently further," for example, higher frequencies of cracks would occur in houses where (at least larger) window openings in the upper and ground floors are not aligned. But they do not. Such a house is tougher than you think. And even if no one catches them doing it, construction workers improvise very regularly. More precisely: so regularly that over time "improvising" becomes :-)
