Brick pillars

[Soflan]

I am considering replacing old, tired wood columns with brick columns. How can I best handle reinforcement when I don't have the natural cavity in the middle since I'm choosing to build two bricks per layer? Reinforcing rods and drilling through the bricks? Any other general tips?
Best regards

You should have some joint in between, right? Some standing järn should fit there.

You should have some joint in between, right? Some standing iron should fit there.

Do you think just one piece of iron will be enough?

Do you think one iron is enough then?

Yes, I think so. However, you still won't be able to handle any lateral load.

Yes, I believe so. However, you're not going to withstand any lateral load regardless.

No, it won't be needed Only weight from above

Maybe use stainless leca reinforcement bars?
