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.

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.

What is stretcher bond?

The simplest to lay, and therefore the most common, the bricks are laid flat long side to the face of the wall. This bond is sometimes known as running bond. This bond is the simplest bond that is used today, this bond is not suitable as a stand alone structural wall and a structural wall built directly behind it, fixed with wall ties would be needed. Stretcher Bond is normally used a facade for the main structural building. It can look very plain, but with the introduction of other patterns can look very affective.
