In block wall construction (CMU) "bond beam" refers to a course (horz row) that is filled with grout and steel reinforcement. I have not heard the term used in residential construction.

What is English bond and doubleFlemish bond?

Masonry bond refers to the pattern of the bricks within a wall. The most basic is running bond, where all brick within a wall are stretchers (laid with the long, narrow face outward). In English bond, a course of stretchers is followed by a course of header brick, which are laid with their longer edge going back into the wall. This gives the wall a horizontal striped pattern. In Flemish bond, adjacent bricks in each course alternate between stretcher and header, and the next course is reversed. This gives the wall a diagonally striped pattern. I'm less certain of this next (because these bond patterns are expensive and rarely used in brick veneer construction), but I believe single vs double Flemish bond refers to the thickness of the wall. Single is actually two wythes of brick (an inside and an outside wythe) where double is three or more wythes thick. This allows the pattern on the inside to be more independent of the outside pattern, and simplifies corners and masonry openings.

Why is English bond a strong bond?

English bond refers to a type of brickwork bond used in the construction of (usually) load-bearing walls. Brick homes commonly built in the US today use a type of brickwork called a stretcher bond. Basically, a stretcher bond is a single row of bricks (about 4" thick - called a half-wythe) laid longwise end-to-end (stretchers). This type of construction is really just a brick veneer which is supported by load-bearing wall elements behind it - such as 2x4 wood frame construction, "cinder block", or a poured concrete wall. A brick wall employing a English bond, on the other hand, is a full wythe thick (about 8" - the length of a standard brick). It's made by alternately laying a row of two bricks "longwise" side-by-side (stretchers) and then a row of bricks "crosswise" (headers). The joints are staggered so that the header bricks (and mortar) lock in the stetcher bricks in the rows above and below them and, likewise, the stretcher bricks (and mortar) lock in the header bricks in the rows above and below them.

How do you use a Flemish bond for intersecting walls?

Flemish bond wall construction is not as strong as the English bond brick wall.In a Flemish Bond wall, alternate header and stretcher are laid in every course of the bricks, header bricks being centrally placed between the stretcher bricks in a course and between the stretchers of the top and bottom courses.See the pic in related link for the intersection in Flemish Bond wall construction.

How a brick like a cell?

A cell is like a brick because the brick is part of the brick wall that covers your body and can be seen through out yourself. Cells are like a brick wall because a brick wall is a cluster of these many bricks that build up to become the human body.
