Portuguese term or phrase: assentamento em amarração ou ‘tijolinho’

This is a Brazilian specification for laying floor tiles, so I wondered if anyone could help with this phrase?
I assume the 'assentamento em amarração' means something like layiing the tiles by securing them (as opposed to using cement) but I not sure what they mean ‘tijolinho’ in this context?

Caso o assentamento/paginação seja feito com juntas não alinhadas, recomenda-se não ultrapassar a medida de 15% da lateral da peça. A XXXXXXXX não recomenda o assentamento em amarração ou ‘tijolinho’ em medida superior a esta.

Step Five: Arrange The Bricks
The simplest arrangement of bricks for single thickness walls is called a stretcher bond - in this layout, each vertical joint is staggered and half bricks are used to fill in the end gaps. Use a gauge stick (a piece of batten with the widths of a brick and mortar line marked up one side) to check that the mortar levels are even as you complete each layer, and the end of your trowel handle to tap the bricks level.
Your spirit level can also be handy to check that the outer brick faces are all aligned. Check that any corners are vertical with a plumb line.
