SLOTTED
SIDE MOUNTING RAP-TIE NOTES
| (i) |
The design values reflect both the windward and leeward
capacity of the Slotted Side Mounting Rap-Tie system, with
the governing values listed.
|
| (ii) |
The tie system recommended design load value was formulated
using working stress design following the procedures of
CSA CAN3-A370-M94 "Connectors for Masonry", ACI/ASCE/TMS/518
and U.B.C. The value has been corrected 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 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 loads listed above.
|
| (iv) |
The above design values relate to the capacity of the
FERO tie components. A compatible fastener (or fasteners)
capable of resisting the design load must be selected.
|
| (v) |
The above design values are based on test results utilizing
a 140 mm (5.5") cavity (25 mm [1"] air space). No insulation
or drywall was used. Note that for smaller cavity widths
and/or with the addition of insulation sheathing providing
lateral tie support, increased tie system design loads
and reduced tie system deflections may be realized.
|
| (vi) |
Maximum recommended spacing reflects the maximum allowable
by CSA-A370-94, ACI/ASCE/TMS/518 and U.B.C. For stud construction,
every vertical stud should contain ties. Design will ultimately
govern spacing. |
