Ancon AMR Masonry Reinforcement Ancon AMR is used to improve the structural performance of masonry walls, in accordance with BS5628-2: 2005, by providing additional resistance to lateral loads e.g. wind. It can also be used to reduce the risk of cracking either at stress concentrations around openings or as a result of movement, in accordance with BS5628-3: 2005. Available in various standard configurations, the Ancon AMR suits a wide range of structural load conditions and wall widths. The longitudinal wires have a minimum characteristic yield strength of 500N/mm2. Materials Ancon AMR is...

Ancon AMR eXtra Masonry reinforcement with cross wires which offer something extra Industry concerns over the build quality of reinforced masonry panels have led Ancon to develop the innovative AMR-X. This new product features shaped cross wires which ensure the longitudinal wires are located in the centre of a bed joint. AMR-X: • Accelerates construction times • Improves build quality • Reduces site supervision requirements Masonry Reinforcement with the ‘X’ factor AMR-X has been designed to be installed either way up and is available in two wire diameters and two widths.

Ancon AMR-X When compared to other ladder-type reinforcement, Ancon AMR-X can accelerate the speed of construction, improve build quality and reduce the requirement for site supervision. Ladder-type reinforcement is located in bed joints to provide additional resistance to lateral loads and improves the structural performance of a masonry wall. It is important that the steel is surrounded by mortar to ensure the designed performance is achieved on site. A number of construction managers have expressed their concerns to Ancon that standard masonry reinforcement can easily be installed...

Product Datasheet Ancon AMR-CJ for Collar Jointed Walls Ancon AMR-CJ masonry reinforcement 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. Ancon AMR-CJ is used to tie the two leaves together, so it acts as a single unit. The product consists of 20 x 2.5mm flat ties welded to flattened longitudinal wires at 450mm centres. The longitudinal wires have a minimum characteristic yield strength of 500N/mm². Product Width AMR-CJ is supplied in a standard width of 175mm to suit wall widths of 215mm comprising...
