Brick nog (nogging or nogged, [1] beam filling) is a construction technique in which bricks are used to fill the gaps in a wooden frame. Such walls may then be covered with tile , weatherboards, or rendering , or the brick may remain exposed on the interior or exterior of the building.
In construction, a dwang (Scotland and New Zealand), [1] [2] [3] nogging piece, nogging, noggin or nog (England and Australia; all derived from brick nog), [4] [5] or blocking (North America), is a horizontal bracing piece used between wall studs to give rigidity to the wall frames of a building. Noggings may be made of timber, steel, or aluminium.

In architecture, a corbel is a structural piece of stone, wood or metal jutting from a wall to carry a superincumbent weight, [1] a type of bracket. [2] A corbel is a solid piece of material in the wall, whereas a console is a piece applied to the structure.
Air brick: A brick with perforations to allow the passage of air through a wall. Usually used to permit the ventilation of underfloor areas. Bat: A cut brick. A quarter bat is one-quarter the length of a stretcher. A half-bat is one-half. [1] Bullnose: Rounded edges are useful for window sills, and capping on low and freestanding walls.
Roman bricks in the Jewry Wall, Leicester. The 20th-century bracing arch in the background utilises modern bricks. Roman brick is a type of brick used in ancient Roman architecture and spread by the Romans to the lands they conquered, or a modern adaptation inspired by the ancient prototypes. Both types are characteristically longer and flatter ...
The bond-preventing layer decouples the casing from the core. This allows the steel core to resist the full axial force developed in the bracing, as designed. The casing – through its flexural rigidity – provides lateral support against the flexural buckling of the core. It is typically made of concrete-filled steel tubes.
In masonry veneer building construction, a shelf angle or masonry support is a steel angle which supports the weight of brick or stone veneer and transfers that weight onto the main structure of the building so that a gap or space can be created beneath to allow building movements to occur.
