      @@henryrollins9177 yes, you are right the brick is required to be completely dried. during the selection process of the bricks the masons placed the samples in a bucket of water to check their ability to retain water and selected accordingly. the most plausible explanation to this is that the brick absorbs the water in the rich cement mortar which increases the adhesion between the two materials. As they complete 3 concentric rows they put cement mortar on top and spray it with water (9:37) so the cement mortar in the joint does not crack since the brick has partly absorbed the water. It is a mix of this and the pure form geometry of the dome which in turn helps distribute the forces evenly across the assembly.

    I had attended a workshop where we had to build two types of domes, one on a circular base and the other on a square base with pendentives at the 4 corners( to get a circular ring). For the latter, we needed a level tube to maintain the levels on all 4 corners, and most of us got it wrong. It's astounding to see these guys do it without any level instrument. Awesome!

    Okay, watching the process with a keen eye i picked up a few things...
    1, Before the first ring is complete, the corners appear to be built as independent arches, so those need no real assistance to be supported. (6:30)
    2, Once the first ring has been completed, brick geometry then becomes far more important. (7:40)
    3, The cement mix is also critical, it needs to be very adhesive, must harden reasonably quickly and not shrink too much when dry. (8:30)
    4, I suspect the cement shrinking is part of the reason they render the top immediately while also spraying to keep it moist. (9:30)
    So why does it not fall in? Put simply, physics... The reason a single brick doesn’t fall in when being placed is the cements adhesion... The reason a whole ring doesn’t fall in once the cement is dry is because of geometry, the ring as a whole does not fit through the hole below it.

      The west (assuming you are from the west) has strayed too far and slowly India too is drifting that way... luckily we still have some master masons who might be the last ray of hope and the custodians of invaluable traditional knowledge, that is mind-bending! What is really stroke-worthy is the fact that houses in the west are these days made like matchboxes with flimsy timber that will go up in smoke in a jiffy. Soooooo much needs to be done to keep it protected from the elements and termites and bugs and towards thermal insulation. They result in a very heavy Carbon footprint. Conversely, these traditionally build homes and structures are sustainable and eco-friendly. This might come across as an East v/s West run down but is only intended to say that we, in India need to cradle and protect this knowledge before it is wiped out.

    Brilliant work by very skilled tradesman. Lots of comments about how the bricks stay in place as they are being laid ! It's a combination of many things but the key here is very dry porous bricks and wet sticky mortar. If you laid this brick normally on a wall and waited 30 seconds or a minute and tried to pick it up you would struggle as it would be slightly stuck. As the dome goes up its shape and the forces take care of the rest. I really want to build one now, I would love to spend a week with these guys.

      Except in the foothills of the Himalayas, India is not famous for its snowfall. BTW, rooftops are different there. As for rain, it's a problem if the roof is flat. Here, it's a dome not a pool. Water flows naturally outside. A dome (or an arch) can't collapse. Its weakest point are the walls that take all the forces. Moreover, this method of construction is ancestral. If it didn't work, don't you think they would have done it differently?
      So strength for what? ==> For their needs. That's obviously enough

      For each course (ring) of brick the wet mortar has enough adhesive strength to hold the bricks in place until the ring is complete. At that point, each brick course is acting as a compression ring with the forces pushing outward. The lateral forces are strong enough to overcome the gravity load. When the entire dome is complete, the rings act together and the forces are distributed in all directions.
      Very impressive and economical to build, although I'm a little surprised that they rely on running bond for the brickwork - headers would make the whole thing easier to construct.

    For those why the structure just doesn’t collapse under its own weight Its because after the cement dries with the bricks the entire structure becomes the equivalent of a large cement panel or block, the bricks also stay together thanks to the interlocking placement which exerts compression to the outer wall a bit like the structure of a dome but in this case it’s flat, but the same principles apply

      I like the fearful comments. No clue about buildings, but commenting. There is a ring anchor reinforced with structural steel around the dome. This is earthquake resistant and the dome will not collapse as long as the ring is not broken. This is one of the best constructions to resist long time as the dome even may be shuttered, it will just settle.

    I've seebn videos of almost the exact same thing done in Mexico, the main differences I see is that in Mexico it looks like they you plaster de Paris, for mortar and it's very thin. I believe the Mexican way is a little faster and probably just about the same in strength, because though the mortar may be weaker the joints are tighter. Either way, beautiful work. Being a mason myself I'd like to try it, but where I'm from in the states you can't get brick like that, and no way would it ever get past code.

    That cement mix is abnormally strong, sticky and dense, will set quickly, although the quality of cement may not be as good as UK standards. The concentrated & fine cement powder will microscopically bond strongly as the bricks quickly soak up the water in the mix. Also, note that there are no air gaps, its all solid mortar. Whatever, considerable skills is required. Impressive.

      The mortar has to be just the right mixture of stickiness and stiffness. The bricks need a slightly rough surface (for example made with sand in them). The mortar must cure properly, NOT dry out, otherwise it crumbles. I have seen an arch made using concrete blocks, but it was not very wide.

      These brick are light compared others and also very dry. As soon as you put the mortar on, it starts to pull out moisture so you must be fast when placing the brick. It also creates a suction, like when you step in thick mud with your shoes on. Plus once you complete a row, it then has binding strength. The type and consistency of the mortar is important also depending on joint size. There are other factors I'm sure, but the main thing is that it works. The ones done in Mexico look like they're done entirely by eye, no tape, no strings, nothing, just put em up. This is what amazes me.
