vertical joint

Vertical joints are done by hand or with small power chisels.

Shape the vertical joints first, then the horizontal ones.

A capstone should cover all vertical joints between the stones it rests on.

The vertical joints were filled with basalt or sandstone concrete.

Try laying it in a running bond pattern, with vertical joints staggered like brick.

There is no mortar in the vertical joints to allow for expansion and contraction during firing.

The dolomite fractured off along vertical joints, leaving sheer rock faces still visible today.

The unique feature of this dam is the fact that none of the horizontal or vertical joints match up.

The vertical joints were de-emphasized by ensuring the mortar was flush with, and of the same hue, as the brick.

Vertical joints were created by this uplift, which were eventually (and still are) preferentially eroded.

Carboniferous Limestone has horizontal layers (beds) with bedding planes, and vertical joints.

The outer spandrels of the bridge are clad with exposed-aggregate panels showing vertical joints.

Open head joints (the vertical joints between bricks)

Vertical joints visible in the wall show that gaps were left during the building of the wall to allow access and were filled in later.

Use the back of the pointing trowel to pick up mortar from the large trowel and press it tightly into the vertical joints.

The name is suggested by the appearance of the feature caused by weathering along prominent vertical joints in the gabbro rock.

The east and west facades carry obvious signs (vertical joints, replaced masonry) which make it possible to distinguish the two restoration campaigns.

Hughes Mountain is formed of intrusive rhyolite which broke into vertical joints when it cooled, creating polygonal columns.

Walls were generally two or three wythes thick; the vertical joints were staggered to avoid creating a direct path through the wall for wind and vermin.

Honeycomb wall: a wall, usually stretcher bond, in which the vertical joints are opened up to the size of a quarter bat to allow air to circulate.

Pre-existing lines of weakness in the rock (vertical joints) contribute to the formation of extensive fissures separated by clints (flat pavement like slabs).

The stone exterior is reminiscent of an early Italian Renaissance palace with the horizontal and vertical joints of the stones deeply grooved or rusticated.

The glaciers widened the valley, but much of its width is in fact due to previous stream erosion and mass wasting along vertical joints in the valley's walls.

The uplift caused vertical joints to form which were later preferentially eroded to form the free-standing pinnacles called hoodoos, badlands, and monoliths we see today.

If deeply cut-back edges are worked only to the horizontal joints, with the appearance of the vertical joints being minimised, the resulting effect is known as banded rustication.
