Specification for ancillary components for masonry - Part 1: Ties, straps, hangers, brackets and support angles

Scope

This European standard specifies materials, limiting dimensions and performance requirements for ties, straps, hangers, brackets and support angles for interconnecting masonry and for connecting masonry to other parts of buildings including walls, floors, beams, columns etc. The objective is to enable masonry elements to resist, or transfer to supporting elements, actions such as dead load, occupancy load, wind load, seismic load and thermal/moisture movement. Product characteristics relevant to ERs are those mainly linked to mechanical resist.: ultimate tensile load, ultimate compressive load, ultimate shear resist
