CAT-TIE NOTES
| (i) |
The design values reflect both the windward and leeward capacity of the Cat-Tie system, with the governing value listed.
|
| (ii) |
The tie system recommended design load value was 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 value has been reduced to account for test result variation, and reflects a factor of safety of 3.0, as per Table 3 (A370).
|
| (iii) |
The allowable mortar pull-out or push-out design load for the V-Tie™ embedded at the centerline 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 spacing of the Cat-Tie will be governed by design, with maximum spacings as per clause 6.2 and 6.3 of CSA CAN3-A370-04 “Connectors for Masonry”, ACI/ASCE/TMS/518 and U.B.C., addressing the “Spacing of Wall Anchors” and “Spacing of Partition Anchors”.
|
| (v) |
The above design value relates to the capacity of the Cat-Tie components. Compatible fasteners or welds capable of resisting the design loads must be selected.
|
| (vi) |
The above design values are based on tests utilizing a 25 mm (1.0”) cavity with the V-Tie™ located at the centerline of the AB-Clip, and the Cat-Tie fastened directly to a structural steel member. |
