Masonry Reinforcement & AMR Windpost Brochure:- Masonry Panel Design Service Now Available Masonry Reinforcement for the Construction Industry

Masonry Reinforcement & AMR Windpost Brochure:- Masonry Reinforcement Strengthening Masonry Panels Large panels of masonry or panels with openings can often be difficult to design. The traditional solutions have been to either increase the thickness of the wall or introduce a masonry pier. Ancon AMR Bed Joint Reinforcement and Ancon Windposts are designed to provide additional lateral support for panels of masonry. Windposts can be installed into either the inner leaf of blockwork or into the cavity leaving the blockwork undisturbed. Ancon AMR is a fabricated and flattened stainless steel or...

Masonry Reinforcement & AMR Windpost Brochure:- Masonry Reinforcement Bed Joint Reinforcement Bed joint reinforcement is used to improve the structural performance of masonry walls 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, including the control of shrinkage. For external walls subject to wind loading, a structural engineer should be consulted to assess the spacing of control joints and bed joint reinforcement.

Masonry Reinforcement & AMR Windpost Brochure:- Ancon AMR-X, Enhanced Masonry Reinforcement 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. To provide additional resistance to lateral loads and improve the structural performance of a masonry wall, it is important that the reinforcement is surrounded by mortar. The designed performance of a wall panel may not be achieved if the bed joint reinforcement is simply laid directly onto dry masonry with a mortar layer applied...

Masonry Reinforcement & AMR Windpost Brochure:- Masonry Reinforcement Reinforcing Stack-Bonded Masonry Stack bonding has a distinctive uniform bond pattern and is often detailed for its aesthetic appearance without consideration for its design limitations. Where large format masonry units are stacked one above the other, the lack of bonding between them will greatly reduce the overall flexural strength of the panel and the ability of the wall to spread vertical loads. In stack bonded masonry, concentrated loads will be carried down to the support by the particular vertical ‘column’ of masonry...

Masonry Reinforcement & AMR Windpost Brochure:- Windposts and Parapet Posts Ancon Windposts are designed to suit your specific construction and load conditions. They are suitable for use where standard AMR ladder type masonry reinforcement is inadequate or when there is a requirement to split a large masonry panel. Parapet Posts Ancon Parapet Posts provide lateral restraint to masonry that projects above the main structure. They are designed as ‘cantilevers’ and include a substantial base connection to transfer the bending moment to the structure. To ensure a practical base connection the posts...

Masonry Reinforcement & AMR Windpost Brochure:- Masonry Reinforcement Ancon WP1 and WP3 Windposts Ancon WP1 and WP3 Windposts are channel section windposts which are designed to be installed within the cavity leaving the blockwork undisturbed. The windposts are complete with end connections and ties which fit into the vertical slots in the flanges of the channel section. WP1 Windpost with SDN and SPN Ties in Cavity Wall WP3 Windposts with SDN and SPN Ties Providing Support for Brick Pier Ancon WP2 Windposts Ancon WP2 Windposts are angle section windposts designed for either small cavities or...
