Definitions
- This invention relates to reinforcements and ties for example for use in the walls of brick walled and other buildings.
- One object of the invention is to provide a cheap and easy-to-use tie for securing together the inner and outer walls of a cavity wall principally for use in new building, but possibly also for use as a replacement tie in an old building where the tie has failed. Another object is to provide reinforcement where an existing wall has cracked or slipped .
- a wall reinforcement or a wall tie comprises a short length of wire,preferably of stainless steel, but possibly of copper or some other material, having a uniform cross section consisting of a core and a number of externally projecting fins, and preferably having a uniform twist along its length.
- the length of the wire may be perhaps between 18 and 20 cm whereas for use as reinforcement for a brick wall, the length might be up to-1 or 2 metres.
- a preferred feature of the invention is the smallness of the core of the cross section which may be about 2-6mm in diameter so that it is fine enough to be driven into unbored material or only needs a very fine bore hole to be driven into.
- the fin or fins might be about 1 or 2 millimetres proud of the surface of the core or possibly they might be a distance from the core equal to the diameter of the core to leave a substantial flange for cutting into and making a good grip in the surrounding wall.
- the overall cross section of perhaps 8 or 10 millimetres can be little enough to enable a length of the wire to be inserted in the space left by raking out the mortar in cracked brickwork, after which the wall can be repointed around the inserted reinforcement.
- the ease with which the wire can be bent is another advantage arising from the small cross sectional dimensions and it enables a short length of the wire to have two bends so that the two ends of the wire are parallel with each other and are joined by an intermediate portion at an angle to the two ends.
- the wire is very suitable for use as a tie in new cavity brickwork because where a tie is to be introduced , one of the parallel ends can be laid on the top of one course and even if the top of the corresponding course on the other wall is not of exactly the same height, the wire can merely be rotated about a horizontal axis through the one end until the other end is at the right height and then the tie will be secured in position as mortar is applied,followed by the next course of bricks.
- the fin or fins give a good grip between the tie and the mortar and also define drip points from which water can drop into the cavity to avoid moisture being transferred from one wall to the other across the tie .
- the length of the central part between the bends would correspond with the width of the wall cavity, and might be about 6 cm. or some other standard distance.
- the length of wire is also possible to use as a wall tie even if it is not kinked, and particularly where one of the walls is a timber wall into which the pin can be directly driven, possibly after sharpening the leading end.
- the cranked form with bends is also useful where one of the walls is of timber because movement of the timber in use due to dimensional instability can be taken up by increased or decreased bending at the bends.
- the wire can be easily made using a pair of rollers of novel form.
- the rollers will have general] / cylindrical surfaces with a parallel sided slot at the centre and then as round or square section rod is fed into the nip of the rolls, the section will be first cut at the edge of the slots and then deformed so that the cut material is squeezed into the gap between the rollers at their closest point to define a pair of opposed fins. No material is lost but the material is deformed to leave a generally rectangular sectioned core with fins extending from either side, and the section can then be uniformly twisted in a subsequent manufacturing step.
- the method of forming the fins by a combination of shearing and squeezing forces work hardens and stretches the fin material without hardening the core material. This predisposes the material for transformation by twisting into a tight and constant helix without the need for annealing and provides maximum hardness in the fins which in some applications have a cutting function.
- the width of the fins can be chosen by appropriate setting of the spacing between the rollers.
- a single pass of the rollers can be sufficient to form the desired section, even with a hard metal such as stainless steel.
- a double pass enables four fins to be provided.
- the invention includes the method of making the wire and also the rollers for making it.
- wire is a triangular, square, or polygonal, section were simply uniformly twisted along its length, with a squared off end.
- the corner edges of the polygonal section will act nearly as well as the fins in embodiments involving embeddment in mortar.
- Another aspect of the invention is the use of the wire as a tie betwen the inner and outer walls of a cavity wall, and where the wire is angled to have two parallel ends and a cranked intermediate portion, then the intermediate portion can extend across the cavity.
- Another aspect of the invention is a tool for driving one end of a wire tie into a nailable material or through two or more nailable materials close together or separated by a cavity space, which tool has a bore for accommodation of the wire to be driven.
- the tool may be adapted to drive the end of a wire slightly below the surface of one of the materials being connected together so the fastening is effectively hidden.
- the invention includes the use of a length of the wire used as reinforcement in the mortar in a course of brickwork extending throughout the length of two or more bricks.
- the invention also includes the use of a length of the wire to provide tensile reinforcement to improve the performance of structural members made of materials in which a particularly efficient mechanical bond is necessary to transfer the stresses from the material to the reinforcing wire.
- materials may include for example portland cement and/or resin based concretes which are aereated or made with lightweight aggregates and natural organic materials such as timber.
- the wires may be embedded in some materials as they are cast and with others such as timber may be pressed into grooves cut in their surfaces. If the wires are made of a corrosion resistant material such as stainless steel they can be used close to the surface of a member exposed to moisture in a corrosive environment.
- the wires can also be used to assist in the transfer of loads from the end of one structural member into another structural member which may be of a dissimilar material.
- the rod shown in Figure 1 is straight and of constant cruciform cross section, the arms of the cruciform being uniformly twisted about the axis of the rod and forming helical ribs or fins 4 around the central solid core of the rod.
- the rod shown in Figure 2 is of constant triangular cross-section and is uniformly twisted with a pitch of approximately twice the maximum cross-sectional dimension of the rod.
- Figure 3 shows a straight bulbous rod of varying circular cross section, the bulbs 8 being in the form of truncated spheres.
- Figure 4 shows a rod having one end like the rod of Figure 3, and the other end formed with axially- spaced flat sections 9 alternately in planes at right angles to their neighbours.
- a cylindrical intermediate section 10 formed with a flange.
- the helical ribs 4 of the rod shown in Figure 1 serve to provide a strong grip of the rod within mortar and timber over short distances of penetration; the curves 6 of the rod shown in Figure 2, the bulbs 8 of the rod shown in Figure 3, and the sections 9 in Figure 4, also provide a strong grip of the respective rod when set within mortar, but these latter configurations are not easily driven into timber.
- a further feature of the helical ribs 4 is that they provide the rod with natural drip features which hinder the passage of water in an undesirable direction, i.e.
- the helical ribs 4 of the Figure 1 embodiment may be as shown in Figure 1 with two opposed thick ribs 11 alternating with thinner ribs 12; but preferably the uniform section is as shown in Figure 6 with four equally circumferentially spaced ribs 13 extending from the sides of a square.
- the overall diameter of the rods is such as to enable the rods to be incorporated within a mortar layer of a wall, i.e. about 4-8mms in a layer about 8-14mms thick.
- the rods are made from a strong flexible non-corrosive material such as copper or stainless steel so that a rod of the diameter as stated above may hold an outer wall against wind suction and pressure yet flex readily to accommodate different settlement of walls between which the rod is affixed and not corrode after long exposure to the atmosphere or encasement in mortar.
- the wire is merely a uniformly twisted length of rod of square or triangular cross-section, with a squared- off or pointed end.
- rods of the types shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4 may be similarly utilised as well as those described in the preceding paragraph.
- Figure 7 shows a wall tie 15 comprising a rod of the type shown in Figure 1 which is bent in two places 16 in equal, but opposite directions so that the tie 15 has a cranked middle portion 17 and two end portions 18 and 19 all of which portions have co-planar axes, the axes of the end portions 18 and 19 also being parallel.
- the length of the cranked portion 17 is such that when the end portions 18 and 19 of the tie are embedded in mortar layers of parallel inner and outer brick walls 21 and 22 respectively, the bends are just within the cavity 23 between the walls yet each is adjacent the face of a different wall.
- the figure shows alternative positions of the end 19 for different levels of the bricks on the wall 22.
- the helical ribs or fins 4 of the cranked portion 17 provide drip points, as described above, which prevent water running across the cavity bridge throughout a range of rotational positions of the tie 15, even when there is a slight back fall (of up to 15°) of the cranked portion.
- the range of acceptable arc of rotation of the tie is approximately 210° if one considers both sides of a vertical datum. Good location of the end portions 18 and 19 within the mortar beds is also achieved by the helical ribs 4 when the mortar sets around them.
- Figure 8 shows the tie 15 in use as described above, but performing the additional function of locating a slab 25 of insulation material for example foamed plastics, at one side of the cavity 23.
- the location of the slab 25 is achieved by pushing one end of the tie 15 through the slab like a skewer, until the bend lies within the slab and the slab is axially located on the tie 15 both by the helical ribs 4 and by the bend.
- the helical type of rod as shown in Figure 1 and described above is also particularly useful as a tie 27 between a brick wall 28 and a wooden wall 29 as shown in Figure 9, and although a bulbous type rod as shown in Figure 3 could also be used it is the use of the helical rod that will be described.
- the tie comprises a straight rod as shown in Figure 1 and described above, one end 30 of which is pointed and driven into the wooden wall 29.
- the helical ribs 4 give the tie 27 a stronger grip than would be provided by friction alone, even with ashort length of penetration within the wood.
- the outer end of the tie is embedded within a mortar layerof the brick wall 28 as described above, so that the wooden wall 29 is fixed in relation to, yet spaced from, the brick wall.
- the tie 27 can bend to accommodate drying shrinkage of the wooden wall 29, which shrinkage may be as great as 18mm, but is not normally more than 12mm.
- the pitch of the helix is much less than the width of the cavity and the tie can bend about an axis that is perpendicular to the thinner arm of the cruciform cross section close to the cavity faces of the walls. Because of the tight bend the central portion 17 follows a straight path, thus giving the tie 27 the ability to resist forces tending to push or pull the outer wall.
- a tool which enables the tie 27 to be driven to a set distance into the wooden wall 29 has a handle 31 and a shank 32 with a central blind bore of slightly greater diameter than the tie 27.
- the tie 27 is inserted blunt end first, into the bore, and the tool is held with the shank 32 resting on the brick wall 28.
- the tie 27 is then driven - pointed end 30 first - to a preset depth into the wooden wall 29 by hammering on the handle 31 until the face of the handle abuts the brick wall 28. Flexing of most of the length of the slender tie during hammering is prevented by the supportive bore.
- the tool is then withdrawn so that the mortar layer may be applied on the wall 28 around the blunt end of the tie.
- a brick wall 35 is having an external brick wall 36 built spaced outside it as shown in Figure 10 a brick in the internal wall has to be pre-drilled with a pilot hole as shown at 37 to accommodate the core of the tie 27 which is then driven into the brick using the tool of Figure 9.
- the tie is then cranked and rotated in its pilot hole until the outer end 19 can lie just above the upper brick in the partly built external wall 36 so that when mortar is applied in preparation for the next brick 38 the outer end of the tie will be firmly keyed to the inner wall.
- the wire tie is driven into a brick in the old wall rather than into the mortar which is unlikely to be strong enough to give a good mechanical grip even if it happened to be at the right level.
- a straight tie 27 will be used for driving into the pilot hole 37 and that it will then be convenient to bend it in two places to provide the cranking.
- a pre-cranked tie which can be driven into the pilot bore using an appropriate tool and then rotating it as required.
- Figure 11 shece hew a tie can be inscrted betwesn inner and outer existing brick walls 35 and 36, perhaps to replace a corroded tie or perhaps just for strengthening where a tie had been omitted originally.
- the inner wall 36 has a brick first bored with a clearance hole up to about lcm from the face of the cavity and then a pilot hole 42 of a diameter equal to the core of the wire tie is drilled through the last lcm of the inner wall, and on into the outer wall at 37.
- the tie 27 is driven into the pilot hole using the tool of Figure 9 until it is in the position shown in Figure 11 where it grips by having cut into the wall of the pilot hole as it rotates.
- the clearance hole 41 is filled with mortar grout which sets firmly around that end of the tie.
- Figure 12 shows a somewhat similar arrangement of a tie between outer and inner timber walls or layers 43 and 44 with porous insulating slab filling 45.
- the tie can be driven directly in without first drilling a pilot bore and it will turn and cut its way into the two timber layers. If the timber is too hard of course a pilot hole can be drilled. Even with soft bricks it may be possible to drive the tie directly in without drilling a pilot hole, and that may be the case particularly in the simplified form of wire tie consisting of a uniformly twisted triangular or square sectioned rod.
- the rods shown in Figures 1-4 can also be used as mortar reinforcing rods as shown in Figures 13,14 and 15.
- a crack as shown at 51 or 52 in Figure 15 can be reinforced by removing about a quarter - say 25mm - into the wall, of the layer of mortar for some distances to each side of the crack, positioning the rod 53 longitudinally between the bricks, and repointing the wall as shown at 54 in Figures 13 and 14.
- Brick lintels can also be reinforced using the above method and by overlapping the rods as at 55, the reinforced bricks can be made to act as beams.
- the inserted reinforcing rods may be long enough to extend through the length of at least 2, and perhaps 3 or 4 bricks.
- the preferred helical rod shown in Figure 1 is conveniently produced from square, rectangular, or round, section austenitic stainless steel wire by a single or doubel pass rolling/shearing process shown in Figure 5 followed by twisting.
- the rollers 56 and 57 are each approximately 150mm in diameter and each has a rectangular section circumferential groove 58 around its mid portion.
- the very pronounced fins which are required for satisfactory location within mortar, are formed by shearing and squeezing the material in the area A so that it is transferred to the adjacent area B of the fin.
- the fins become work hardened due to the above process, but the core remains unhardened, thus giving a desirable configuration of hardened fins with good cutting and wear resistant properties, and an unhardened core with good flexibility.
- the space between the rollers 60 and 62 can be adjusted it is possible to alter the fin thickness. Sharpening of the cutting edges 59 of the grooves 58 is possible by use of a g rindina stone between the sides of the arooves while the rollers are rotated.
- the bevels 60 can also be sharpened by application of a square grinding stone to the groove away from the common tangential space between the two rollers.
- the groove depths are made to allow for a substantial amount of re-sharpening resulting in a reduction in roller diameter and hence groove depth. Further adjustability of the rollers can be achieved by dividing them along the line marked X-X so that they may be bolted together with shims inserted, thus enabling the cutting space between the edges to be varied, and hence different size wire to be accommodated.
- a single pass would produce a section as shown dotted in Figure 5.
- a second pass with the rod rotated through 90° could produce the four-finned section shown in Figure 6.
- material is cut and squeezed from the original section to the fins.
- Uniform twisting follows to leave a long length of formed wire which can be cut into suitable lengths and pointed and/or cranked as necessary.
