Dutch to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
Bricklaying
De tweede *metselslag* komt zo op 0,60 m, zodat de slaghoogte van 2,10 m in twee *metselslagen* wordt overbrugd.
Looking for an appropriate term for "metselslag" in the above sentence describing bricklaying techniques.
I've dismissed "course" as it is clearly more than one row of bricks, "layer" also sounds incorrect to me and "unit" is too general.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I'll correct my answer: "A wythe is a continuous vertical section of masonry one unit in thickness."

More info:
Wythe. A continuous vertical section or thickness of masonry 4" or
greater.

leads
In this reference they talk about "five-course leads" on p.7:
To build a higher wall, simply build more five-course leads at each end of the wall. Keep in mind that some type of reinforcing should be used for higher walls.

Note from asker:
Lianne, "leads" are something else - those I know :-), but your reference gave me the word I was struggling with. It is "wythe". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wythe . Can anyone back me up and give Lianne a point for the good reference? |

Dat zou ik er als één van de weinige bouwvakkende architecten/architectuurbedrijvende bouwvakkers in NL van maken.

Bricklaying section?

Discussion
De hoogte heeft hier ook niets van doen, immers het maakt wel wat uit of je een halfsteens of steens muurtje metselt en een muurtje van 2 meter krijg je minder hoog gemetseld als een muurtje van 50 cm op één dag! Een bekwame metselaar legt ca. 1000 stenen op een dag, maar hij kan er ook een kunstwerk van maken.
De metselslag hier slaat op een autonoom stuk metselwerk in het werk. Dus bv de eerste metselslag wordt steens uitgevoerd en voorts gaat dat in de tweede metselslag in halfsteens over (met daartussen bv een vloer).
De door JdH aangedragen "section" komt m.i. meer in de buurt.
