How important is Brickforce in construction, it was only invented in 1918, there are different oppinions on how much to use such as some people say every 3rd course, others say every 5th course, what is its main purpose? and what did builders use before 1918. Brickforce can also jeopardize your two leaf system if used to tie two leafs together. What will happen to a building that has not had brickforce used during construction, just for interest sake as i have never even known about brick force until i saw builders using it.
