44B) Wall Ties for Brick Masonry The use of metal ties in brick masonry dates back to loadbearing masonry walls in the 1850's. Historically, the size, spacing and type of ties have been entirely empirical. Over time, ties of various sizes, configurations and adjustability have been developed...
Project drawings and specifications must identify the individual responsible for their preparation. Items required by the MSJC Code must be clearly marked such as: loads used in design, specified compressive strength of masonry, reinforcement, anchors and ties with size and spacing, size and location ...
spacing at 24 in. (610 mm) o.c., with 3½ in. (89 mm) thick glass fiber batt insulation • 2 in. (51 mm) max. thick foamed plastic • 1 in. (25.4 mm) min. air space • 4 in. (102 mm) nominal brick veneer with wall anchor ties attached to studs at max. 24 in....
The shake table tests captured the performance of brick veneer wall systems, including interaction and load-sharing between the brick veneer, corrugated sheet metal ties, and wood-frame backup. Finally, all of these test results were used to develop finite element models of brick veneer wall ...
Stiffener ribs and uniform tray base design reinforce the structural strength of the tray and serve as guides to assure vertical and horizontal alignment of every brick. The spacing between each tray can be adjusted if necessary to help align with rough openings in the wall. ...
