  LATERAL TIE CLIP NOTES

(i) The above FERO tie system design 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 reflect a factor of safety of 2.25 (i.e.,75% of 3.0), as per Table 3 (A370).

(ii) The above design value is based on test results utilizing the FERO V-Tie™, with two Lateral Tie Clips per V-Tie™ (one per V-Tie™ leg). No mortar was used. Note that with the addition of mortar providing confining support, increased tie system design loads and reduced tie system deflections may be realized.
