Brickforce 60mm X 2.7M.


Brickforce is a prefabricated wire reinforcement for masonry to be embedded in the horizontal bed joints. Its unique shape combined with its material properties increases the tensile strength of the masonary.

Brickforce consists of two longitudinal wires which are welded to a continuous zig-zag cross wire to form a lattice truss configuration. The cross wire is welded to the sides of the longitudinal wires so that the overall thickness does not exceed the diameter of the longitudinal wires.The longitudinal wires are indented to improve the bond with the mortar.


Description

The steel used in the manufacture of Brickforce is either high tensile, in accordance with BS4482, or austenitic stainless steel, grade 304, in accordance with BS1970: Part 1: 1983.

The characteristic tensile strength of both the high tensile and stainless steel wires is 500N/mM2.

The shear resistance of each weld connecting the cross wire to the longitudinal wires is at least 2.5kN.
