This technique describes a construction method where individual units are arranged in layers, with each layer connecting to the adjacent ones to create a stable, unified structure. A common example is bricklaying, where bricks are offset from one another in successive courses to enhance structural integrity and prevent continuous vertical joints.
The advantages of this approach include increased resistance to lateral forces, improved load distribution, and enhanced aesthetic appeal. Throughout history, many construction methods have employed interlocking patterns to strengthen buildings, walls, and pavements. This has produced greater durability in the face of shifting ground and severe weather events.
