2 118 Masonry Support In design situations when a masonry support angle is required there are three principle systems to choose from: AnconOptima, MDC or CFA. Through our on site design evaluation with your project manager and negotiations with your procurement and design teams, we can ascertain which system is appropriate in each instance. Project Management Service Longs Construction Services is the primary driver of information flow throughout the design process of masonry support systems. All aspects of the approval and manufacturing process are coordinated through a dedicated account manager, who will ensure the proposed designs are signed off for manufacture and delivered to your construction schedule. Detailed cross section and layout drawings are supplied for the bespoke support system required. This will show the location of the fixings, whether it is bolt positioning for cast-in channels for concrete frames or bolt positioning for steel frames. Bracket angle units are cross referenced clearly against grid lines for easy installation on site. Details for Specification and Ordering The principal information needed to start an enquiry is: - What is the cavity size? - What is the masonry load to be carried? - What is the support system being fixed back to? Bi-metallic Corrosion Corrosion of a steel frame may be slightly increased where there is direct contact with a stainless steel masonry support system in a damp environment. This can be avoided by isolating the two dissimilar metals by painting the contact area or by incorporating a separating membrane. AnconOptima Standard Support Systems Available from stock The Industry s growing emphasis on speed of construction, and the limited ability of welded bracket support systems to provide adjustment on site, has created a demand for an offthe-shelf support system. AnconOptima consists of short two-step angles, interchangable brackets and locking wedges. Benefits of AnconOptima More adjustable than welded bracket systems allowing for variations in the structural frame. Specified by using simple load / cavity charts. No requirement for detailed layout drawings, reducing design time. Non project specific and supplied from stock. Faster and easier to install - reduces labour requirements for installation.

3 Adjustment Brackets are changed on site to allow for variations in the edge beam and are available to suit cavities from 60mm to 150mm in 5mm increments. 119 Shims can be used for fine adjustments and should never need to be more than 4mm thick. The AnconOptima System features a fixing zone providing a total of 50mm horizontal adjustment. If the system is to be fixed using expansion bolts, the brackets can be moved to eliminate clashes between the bolts and reinforcing bar. This also allows the system to be fixed to pre-drilled holes rather than slots in steelwork. Vertical adjustment is achieved in the usual way by the deep slot in the back of the bracket. Horizontal adjustment can be increased by fixing the system to an Ancon channel cast into the face of the concrete. Cutting On Site AnconOptima is not designed for specific buildings and certain angles will need to be cut on site to suit the length required. Each angle section must have at least two brackets. Corners Standard left-hand and right-hand corners are available. Each corner section requires three brackets in order to achieve the required performance. These sections should never be cut.

Ancon MDC Bracket Angle Support System This bespoke system can carry over eight metres of brickwork and can accommodate any width of cavity from 40mm. The brackets are welded to the angle and the material content of both components is optimised to ensure an economic solution. The Ancon MDC System can be supplied in a variety of configurations to suit particular applications and support special masonry features. The size of the support angle can be varied to suit the thickness and height of the masonry to be carried. Bracket spacing, depth and height are all varied to suit loadings, fixing position and cavity width. Specification / Referencing Ancon masonry support follows an easy to use referencing system to aid installation on site. The reference always follows the same structure: System / type / cavity / masonry load / projection where: MDC = Welded Bracket / Angle. MDC/R = Welded Bracket / Angle with reversed angle. MDC/I = Welded Bracket / Angle inverted angle system. CFA = Cold Formed Angle standard system. CFA/I = Cold Formed Angle Inverted system. P = Projection. Example: MDC / R / 75 / 5.6 Welded Bracket system with a reversed angle to suit a 75mm cavity and to carry 5.6kN/metre run of masonry. T: Cork (021) T: Dublin (01) W:

6 122 CFA / I / 50 / 6.0 Continuous / Cold Formed Angle system with an inverted angle to suit a 50mm cavity and to carry 6.0kN/m run of masonry. Adjustment Cast-in channel will provide virtually unlimited horizontal adjustment; slotted holes in a steel edge member will offer more limited adjustment. The ability of welded bracket support systems to accommodate variations in the line of the structure is limited by the maximum thickness of shims. Shims can be included between the bracket and the frame up to a maximum thickness of the outside diameter of the fixing bolt, or 16mm, whichever is less. Vertical adjustment is provided by the deep slot in the back of the bracket. CFA Continuous Angle Support System Continuous angles are usually suitable for applications where cavities are small, or there is a requirement for the cavity to be closed at the support position. The angles will normally be supplied in lengths of up to four metres. Adjustment Adjustment is provided in every direction to allow for tolerance in the structural frame. Vertical slots in the angle with serrated pads allow ±25mm adjustment. Horizontal adjustment is virtually unlimited when fixing to a continuous cast-in channel and will depend on the length of the slotted holes in the edge member when fixing to steel. Slotted holes (18 x 60mm) in the angle allow horizontal adjustment of ±22mm. Shims can be included between the bracket and the frame, up to a maximum thickness of the outside diameter of the fixing bolt, or 16mm, whichever is less. For further details T: Belfast (028) W:

7 Cast-in Channels Cast-in Channels range from simple self-anchoring slots for accepting restraint fixings to large capacity channels with integral anchors. They provide the necessary adjustment required when fixing to concrete and can eliminate site drilling. Nail holes aid the fixing of channels to timber formwork and an infill prevents the ingress of concrete during casting. 123 Cast-in fixings do not generate expansive forces in the concrete and can be used at close centres and closer to the edges than expansion fixings. There are many cast-in channel profiles, the most commonly used are 21/18 and 30/20. Omega 21/18 The Omega 21/18 Channel is a self-anchoring channel for use with Ancon wall ties referenced SP21, SD21 or PP21. The shallow depth of 18mm allows the channel to be used where there is reduced cover to the reinforcement. Nail holes aid the fixing of the channel to timber formwork. 21/18 - Omega 13mm 21mm 18mm 30/20 17mm 29mm 19mm 30/20 Patent No Patent No. EP B Ancon 30/20 is a high performance channel and should be used in preference to 38/17. Its unique shape allows the applied load to be fed directly from the channel lips to the anchors and the more compact section size improves its fit between reinforcement. In addition, its lower material content provides cost benefits. Specially designed T-head bolts ride up the sloping sides of the channel and securely lock behind the front lips. This channel also accepts standard 20mm wide wall ties. Fixing to Channels This is achieved by T head bolts. These are inserted into the channel and turned through 90. The bolt must then be tightened to the correct torque. Tapped plate washers can be used as an alternative to T bolts where non-standard bolt lengths or diameters are required. Allowable Channel Loads The allowable load data is available on request. Channel Infill All Ancon channels are supplied filled to help stop the ingress of concrete during casting. Installation Guidance When fixing to timber formwork, all nail holes need to be utilised, to prevent excessive ingress of concrete fines between the formwork and the channel during casting. Nails with a plain shank should be installed perpendicular to the channel to ensure easy removal of the formwork. T: Cork (021) T: Dublin (01) W:

8 124 Lintels Lintels span across openings (typically doors and windows) and transfer the weight of the masonry above the opening to the masonry each side. The horizontal leg of the lintel fits within a bed joint, the front edge is usually turned down to provide a drip edge which helps shed moisture above the opening. Lintels usually support both leaves of masonry, but single leaf lintels are also available. A complete range of galvanised and stainless steel lintels are available to suit all domestic and commercial applications. The Housing and Unilintel ranges are designed to suit the majority of loading conditions in cavity wall appications. The standard range consists of: Housing Lintels. Unilintels. Channel Lintels. Solid Wall Lintels. Single Leaf Lintels. Timber Frame Lintels. Box Lintels. Custom Lintels In order to meet the requirements of today s challenging industry, Longs Construction Services can source the design and manufacture of both special stainless steel and galvanised steel lintels for applications where standard lintels are unsuitable. Solutions can be supplied for complex features such as corbels and other architectural details. Special cranked, bay, corner and cantilevered corners are available in addition to the following arch shapes: Segmental arch. Semi-circular arch. Apex arch. Gothic arch. Flat top arch. Double arch. Arched on plan. The following information will aid the design of a custom lintel and if available should be supplied with your enquiry: Wall construction: outer leaf, inner leaf and cavity size. Clear span of opening. Bearings available (if less than 225mm). Radius or rise of arch and angles for apex/cranked and corner lintels. For further details T: Belfast (028) W:

9 Windposts Large panels of masonry or panels with openings can often be difficult to justify structurally. The traditional solutions have been to either increase the thickness of the wall or introduce an additional column. Windposts fit within the wall allowing the existing thickness to be maintained. Both stainless steel and mild steel / coated windposts can be supplied. Windposts are complete with end connections and wall ties. Typical Examples of Windpost Applications Ancon WP1 and WP3 Windposts These are channel section windposts which are designed to be installed within the cavity leaving the blockwork undisturbed. WP1 125 Ancon WP2 Windposts WP2 Windposts are angle section windposts designed for either small cavities or where wind loads are high. One leg of the angle windpost is built into the blockwork, and the blockwork is tied through the leg of the windpost to minimise any possible movement or cracking of internal finishes. If a vertical movement joint is required in place of a tied joint, debonded ties can be supplied. WP3 WP2 Ancon WP4 Windposts These are generally used in internal blockwork walls that have a 'fair faced' finish to both sides and where the windposts cannot protrude beyond either face. WP2 WP4 Sometimes referred to as 'spine' posts they are flat plates designed to fit within the wall. Although the depth of a WP4 post is limited by the width of the masonry (ideally 20mm less than the wall width) the thickness of the post can vary to increase its load capacity. Blockwork is tied through the post. Debonded ties can be used if the post is positioned at a movement joint. Windpost Design Windposts are designed and manufactured to suit each individual project. Sufficient time should be allowed for the design, approval and manufacturing process when placing orders. Ancon Windposts are designed to span vertically between floors to provide lateral support for panels of brickwork. The windposts will usually be restrained by the brickwork and designed as simply supported beams. Deflection under wind load will often limit the maximum loading. Windposts can be designed as propped cantilevers to limit deflection, this however will require a much larger base connection which in many cases may be difficult to accommodate. Connections to the frame are designed to permit adjustment during installation. Serrated surfaces will be provided where T: Cork (021) T: Dublin (01) W:

10 126 adjustment is in the direction of the load. The top connection allows for shrinkage or vertical movement of the frame to take place. The type of fixing will depend on the nature of the frame. Expansion bolts are normally supplied for concrete frames and set screws will be supplied for steel frames. Typical fixing details are shown opposite, although others are available. Parapet and Spandrel Posts Ancon Parapet and Spandrel Posts are restrained by the brickwork and designed as cantilevers. The base connection will need to be sufficient to resist the bending moment and may in some cases be difficult to accommodate within the floor construction. The height of these posts is unlikely to be more than 1.6 metres.

13 Brick Reinforcement Ancon AMR Reinforcement Ancon AMR is a steel reinforcement, designed to be located in the horizontal bed joint to strengthen masonry panels. The longitudinal steel wires are flattened to ensure good cover is maintained even lapped or used with wall ties. AMR meets the requirements of BS EN 845-3: Depth and Length The main longitudinal wires are flattened to less than 3mm. Ancon AMR is manufactured in standard lengths of 2700mm. The longitudinal wires have a minimum characteristic yield strength of 500N/mm 2. Materials Ancon AMR is available in Austenitic stainless steel (ref. S) and galvanised steel (ref. G). Stainless steel provides the greatest corrosion resistance and life-cycle costing benefits, and is suitable for use in any application. Galvanised steel is not suitable for use in the external leaf of a cavity wall. Wire Diameters The Ancon AMR is manufactured from five wire sizes which, after flattening, have an equivalent wire diameter of 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5 and 5mm. Widths Available in four standard widths (60, 100, 150, 175mm), the Ancon AMR can be used in wall widths from 100mm to 215mm. Ancon AMR-CJ Reinforcement Ancon AMR-CJ allows the construction of collar jointed walls i.e. two leaves of thin masonry used in place of a single leaf of wider, heavier blockwork. It is supplied in a standard width of 175mm, in the full range of Ancon wire diameters above. T: Cork (021) T: Dublin (01) W:

Reasons why you should select stainless steel or galvanised Exmet for reinforcing brickwork; Exmet is a length of expanded stainless or galvanised mesh with continuity of steel throughout. Exmet has no joints, welds or interweaving to fail under stress. Once mortared into brickwork the diamond-shaped meshes are anchored immovably so that the reinforcement cannot slip under tension.

17 Density and Positioning of Ties For walls in which both leaves are 90mm or thicker, ties should be used at not less than 2.5 per square metre (900mm horizontal x 450mm vertical centres). Ties should be evenly distributed over the wall area, except around openings, and should preferably be staggered. 133 Length of Tie and Embedment Wall ties should be of the correct length to ensure they are properly embedded in the masonry. The tie should have a minimum embedment of 50mm in each leaf but also take site tolerances into account for both cavity width and centring of the tie. For this reason we suggest tie lengths which achieve an embedment of between 62.5mm and 75mm. Recommended lengths to suit various cavity widths are shown for masonry-to-masonry wall ties.

NB. All ties are boxed in 250s. *Box quantities cannot be split. **Not usually stocked. Debonding Sleeves Debonding sleeves are used on plain-ended wall ties at vertical movement joints. The tie will restrain the masonry against lateral wind loads but the sleeve will allow the masonry to expand or contract. A 120mm long sleeve will provide an allowance for movement and tolerance, and will be suitable for most applications. Other lengths and sizes available to special order. Length: 120mm. Insulation Retaining Clip The red Insulation Retaining Clip will fit most Ancon and Staifix standard wall ties. Size: 80mm Diameter. Pack Sizes: Bags of 20 or 250. The TeploClip suits the TeploTie Range. The black TJ Clip suits the two-part tie. Two-Part Tie Cavities exceeding 150mm are sometimes required. This necessitates longer ties which can be difficult to balance and keep horizontal when built into the inner leaf. The Ancon Two-Part Tie has one section built into the blockwork; the other section is then fixed as the outer leaf is built. The inner tie is manufactured in a standard length of 170mm. Variation in the cavity width is accommodated by the length of the outer tie. Ancon Two-Part Ties sustain loads which exceed the requirements for a Type 2 tie to BS for cavities up to 300mm. An embedment of 75mm is required at each end. T: Cork (021) T: Dublin (01) W:

20 136 Low Thermal Conductivity Wall Ties We supply ties which minimise heat transfer through thermal bridging, improving the energy-efficiency of a wall. Ancon TeploTie composite wall ties comprise pultruded basalt fibres set in an epoxy resin and are the most thermally-efficient wall ties on the market. With a thermal conductivity of only 0.7W/mK, they can be used to reduce insulation thickness and wall footprint. A sand finish provides excellent mortar key. For cavities from 50mm to 300mm. See wall tie selector for types and available lengths Ancon Fastrack Channel Building one leaf of the cavity wall in advance of the other is often beneficial but can create problems with coursing. Buildings which incorporate imperial or continental bricks and standard metric blocks present even greater difficulties. Ancon Fastrack Channel is built into the inner leaf of blockwork ready to take an Ancon SD28 or similar tie for the outer leaf. This method of construction avoids the dangers of projecting ties (Tie lengths = open cavity + 50mm). Ancon Fastrack Channels and Ties can be supplied in different lengths and can also be used for tying stonework to blockwork if DD28 or similar Ancon Ties are used. Ancon Fastrack Channels and Ties sustain loads which exceed the requirements for a Type 2 tie to BS This system can also be manufactured in a 36/8 channel profile that accepts wall ties referenced SP36 or SD36. Non-Drill Hammer-On Fixings Ancon s range of Non-Drill masonry to steel fixing solutions was developed to address the safety concerns of the Industry. Driven by customer demand for masonry restraint fixings with an alternate installation method from that of either shotfiring or drilling, Ancon engineered the innovative solutions that are detailed here. These fixings do not require the use of power tools and can reduce installation times and costs. In all instances they simply about the column or attach to the flange to restrain the wall against lateral wind loads. Eliminate the dangers associated with shot-firing and drilling: Quick, simple and economical to install. No power tools required. Hammer-On Section For further details T: Belfast (028) W:

Manufactured in lengths to suit the application, it can feature a drip for use across the cavity or a plain shank for installation back into the inner leaf. Remedial Wall Ties Column Tie Corrosion of Cavity Wall Ties Wall ties are an essential element in the stability of masonry panels. Prior to 1978, wall ties were usually manufactured from galvanized mild steel. These ties were expected to last the lifetime of the building, but for many years it has been recognised that some of these wall ties have corroded after only 15 or 20 years. Type Ancon MM 63 Mechanical / Mechanical Description Used when tying together two leaves of solid materials, this tie has mechanical expanders at each end. Requires 10mm holes. Ancon RM 63 Resin / Mechanical For use when the material in the inner leaf is perforated, of lowdensity or afriable material. A resin fixing may be used to eliminate any imposed stress. Requires 10mm holes. Staifix RR Used where mechanical expanders are unusable. Normally inserted into a hole, but if test facilities are required, a 12mm hole must be used. A plastic sieve can be used to retain resin and is particularly useful in perforated brick or hollow blockwork. A 12mm hole is required to fit the sieve. Stairib Bar Stainless steel ribbed bar, resin-grouted into the inner and outer leaves. Ancon AC 31 Used where bricks are removed then replaced in the outer leaf.

43 Leaded Cavity Trays Short Lead Flashings Suitable to dress over the upstand of a secret gutter or soaker. 159 Long Lead Flashings Suitable to be dressed across the roof tile. In these circumstances, roof tiles must be suitably shaped ie: not flat. At a later date when the roof surface is complete, the plumber has only to dress the flashings. Installation Tray installation is very straightforward and in a typical brickwork application the bricklayer lays one tray in every course, following the slope of the roof. All trays and the projecting lead flashing are flush-pointed as the masonry is raised. Thus the usual requirement to rake out joints and return to point-in flashings at a later date is eliminated. Tray Types There are 4 main types of abutment trays: Ridge tray This unit straddles the ridge. It has open ends and thus allows water to discharge to the left or right. Intermediate tray Tray is supplied handed and built-in each course up the rake of the roof. Each tray has an end upstand, thus water can only discharge via the open end into the tray below. Catchment tray This is similar to an intermediate tray, but it has upstands to both ends. Its function is to receive water from the intermediate trays above and to discharge this water through a weep vent. Internal/External angles An angle tray is used instead of a catchment tray if the abutment ends or returns on a corner. An angle may also provide a link with horizontal trays.
