ABVTS NOTES
| (i) |
The above design values reflect both the windward and leeward capacity of the Adjustable BVTS tie system, with the governing values listed.
|
| (ii) |
The tabulated tie system design values were formulated using working stress design following the procedures of CSA CAN3-A370-04 “Connectors for Masonry”, ACI/ASCE/TMS/518 and U.B.C. The values have been reduced to account for test result variation, and reflect a factor of safety of 2.25 (i.e., 75% of 3.0), as per Table 3 (A370).
|
| (iii) |
The allowable mortar pull-out and push-out design load for the V-Tie™ embedded at the center line of 90 mm (3.5”) brick veneer utilizing Type M, S or N mortar, exceeds or equals the recommended design load listed above.
|
| (iv) |
The above design values relate to the capacity of the FERO tie components. Compatible fasteners capable of resisting the design load must be selected.
|
| (v) |
The above design values are based on test results utilizing 78 mm (3.07”) BVTS and a 100 mm (4”) cavity. No insulation or drywall sheathing was used. Note that for smaller cavity widths and/or with the addition of insulation and gypsum sheathing providing lateral tie support, increased tie system design loads and reduced tie system deflections may be realized. |
