MASONRY SUPPORTIn 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 ServiceSIG Construction Accessories 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 OrderingThe 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 CorrosionCorrosion 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 SYSTEMSAvailable from stockThe 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.

AdjustmentBrackets 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.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 SiteAnconOptima 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.CornersStandard 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.InstallationA detailed installation guide is enclosed with each delivery. Additional copies are available on request.

ANCON MDC BRACKET ANGLE SUPPORT SYSTEMThis 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 / ReferencingAncon 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 / projectionwhere: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 / 5.6Welded Bracket system with a reversed angle to suit a 75mm cavity and to carry5.6kN/metre run of masonry.

ONRY



CFA / I / 50 / 6.0Continuous / Cold Formed Angle system with an inverted angle to suit a 50mm cavity and to carry 6.0kN/m run of masonry.AdjustmentCast-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 SYSTEMContinuous 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.

ADJUSTMENTAdjustment 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.

CAST-IN CHANNELSCast-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.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 21/18The 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.

30/20Ancon 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 CHANNELSThis 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 LoadsThe allowable load data is available on request.Channel InfillAll Ancon channels are supplied filled to help stop the ingress of concrete during casting.Installation GuidanceWhen 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.

LINTELSLintels 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 LINTELSIn order to meet the requirements of today’s challenging industry, SIG CA 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.

MASONRY



WINDPOSTSLarge 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.ANCON WP1 AND WP3 WINDPOSTSThese are channel section windposts which are designed to be installed within the cavity leaving the blockwork undisturbed.ANCON WP2 WINDPOSTSWP2 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.ANCON WP4 WINDPOSTSThese 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. 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 DESIGNWindposts 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 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 POSTSAncon 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.

BRICK REINFORCEMENT

ANCON AMR REINFORCEMENTAncon 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: 2003.Depth and LengthThe 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/mm2.MaterialsAncon 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 DiametersThe 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.WidthsAvailable in four standard widths (60, 100, 150, 175mm), the Ancon AMR can be used in wall widths from 100mm to 215mm.

ANCON AMR-CJ REINFORCEMENTAncon 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.

Density and Positioning of TiesFor 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.Length of Tie and EmbedmentWall 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.

DEBONDING SLEEVESDebonding 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 CLIPThe 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 TIECavities 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 5628-1 for cavities up to 300mm. An embedment of 75mm is required at each end.

LOW THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY WALL TIESWe 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 CHANNELBuilding 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 5628-1. This system can also be manufactured in a 36/8 channel profile that accepts wall ties referenced SP36 or SD36.

NON-DRILL ‘HAMMER-ON’ FIXINGSAncon’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.• No special skills or equipment required.• Fixings either abut the column or attach to the flange.

COLUMN TIEThe Column Tie clamps to the flange of a column. It accommodates a steel thickness from 6mm to 25mm and should be installed at 225mm vertical centres. 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 TIESCorrosion of Cavity Wall TiesWall 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 Description

Ancon MM 63 Mechanical / Mechanical

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 low- density 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. The wavy end is resin-bonded into the inner leaf in a 10mm hole. The triangular end sits in the bed joint. Ancon AC 31 can be supplied with a drip or a neoprene ring.

Note: Fixing into 36/8 and 25/14 will be with wall ties, not T bolts, and the maximum allowable load is limited to 0.5kN; this maximum should be applied to all channels where the fixing is a wall tie.

Channels are supplied plain-backed for surface fixing to either concrete or steelwork. When bolting channel to concrete or steelwork it is important to utilise all fixing holes (except with 25/14 channels), incorporating the square washer provided and ensuring its correct orientation to achieve the allowable loads. 25/14 Channel should be fixed to steelwork at 450mm vertical centres with self-drilling screws.

WALL STARTER SYSTEMS

36/8 WALL EXTENSION SYSTEMThe 36/8 Wall Extension System can be supplied with either SP36 ties or, where some longitudinal movement must be accommodated at the joint, PP36 ties complete with debonding sleeves. The channel can be supplied in lengths of up to 3.4 metres with each length having a series of holes to allow fixing to the existing wall. The system is available as a kit comprising a length of 36/8 channel 2400mm long, six ties, five plugs and screws.

STAIFIX UNIVERSAL WALL STARTER SYSTEMThis system includes all necessary fixings to join a single skin of masonry, 2400mm high, to an existing wall. Each pack includes two fixing strips, five plugs, five washers, five screws and ten wall ties.Suitable for wall widths from 60mm to 250mm and masonry up to eight metres in height, this system will resist a wind load of up to 4.5kN over a height of 2400mm.Wall Ties slide within the fixing strip to course with the bed joints of any masonry unit.

HEAD RESTRAINTSHead Restraints provide the necessary restraint to the top of masonry walls. They allow for vertical movement to accommodate shrinkage or thermal movement of the wall or structural frame, whilst restraining wind loads.

ANCON IHR - INTERNAL HEAD RESTRAINTThe Ancon IHR is used for restraining the top of internal walls or the top of the inner leaf of a cavity wall. The opening at the front of the channel stem is sealed to prevent mortar ingress and to ensure that vertical movement can take place between the blockwork and the structure. The base of the stem must be built within a bed joint with the centre of the stem no closer than 50mm from the edge of the block. The vertical joint should be filled with mortar each side of the stem.

MASONRY SUPPORT FIXINGSDesign ConsiderationsThere are several factors which will affect the performance of these fixings. The following areas should be considered to ensure that the expected performance is achieved:• Embedment.• Edge distances and spacings.• Fixing thicknesses and shims.• Combined loads.Types of Suitable Fixings• Single Expansion Bolts (Concrete).• High Performance Bolts (Concrete).• Resin Anchors (Concrete).• Hollow Bolts (Hollow Slab).• Ancon SteelGrip (Steel Box Section).We can select the most appropriate fixing for your application.

SELF DRILLING SCREWThese screws feature a shaped drill tip of hardened steel that allows installation without pre-drilling. Hi-thread screws accommodate insulation between a surface-fixed channel and the steel frame. In addition to those products identified in the table, Ancon can supply hi-thread screws to suit an insulation thickness above 70mm thick and a steel thickness above 4mm. More information is available on request.Self-drilling screws should be fixed using a driver with a speed of around 1800rpm. Drive sockets are available.

SINGLE EXPANSION THROUGH BOLTSSingle expansion bolts fix into a hole which is similar to the diameter of the bolt. This allows the hole to be drilled through the hole in the item to be fixed. The single expansion bolt is a cost-effective anchor, available in grade 1.4401(316) stainless steel in a wide range of sizes.

HELIBAR HeliBar is a helical stainless steel reinforcing bar that strengthens and stabilises masonry in both new build and remedial situations. HeliBar provides substantial tensile properties to masonry, particularly when combined with HeliBond grout which locks between the fins and reliably bonds to the masonry.

Typical applications include crack stitching, forming masonry beams, lintel repair and creation, reconnecting separated walls, creating movement joints, bridge repairs and new build reinforcement. HeliBar is fully concealed once installed, avoids expensive taking down and rebuilding and causes minimal disruption to the building’s fabric.

The Helifix Load Test Unit is used on site to test the pull-out loads from the actual masonry units within the structure in question. These loads will be more meaningful than laboratory performance figures using selected materials.

MOVEMENT JOINTSHeliBar stainless steel helical bars in conjunction with plastic debonding sleeves can be used when creating a movement joint in an existing wall.

The 6mm diameter HeliBar is supplied in a standard length of 400mm for this application. The HeliBar restrains the masonry against lateral loads whilst the sleeve allows the masonry to expand and contract axially. The plastic sleeve is 200mm long to debond half the bar, allowing movement to take place at the joint.

This rapid economical solution to the lack of expansion joints is fully concealed once installed, avoids expensive taking down and rebuilding and causes minimal disruption to the building’s fabric.

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.InstallationTray 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 a r e 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.

Its function is to receive water from the intermediate trays above and to discharge this water through a weep vent.INTERNAL/EXTERNAL ANGLESAn angle tray is used instead of a catchment tray if the abutment ends or returns on a corner.
