ABSTRACT:
A tie assembly is used in a cavity wall having a back-up wall and a brick veneer to secure the brick veneer to the back-up wall. The tie assembly includes a plate that is secured to the back-up wall in a vertical orientation, with an tying portion of the plate projecting towards the brick veneer. A series of tie openings are spaced along the outer edge of the plate to receive a tie bar that projects into the mortar between adjacent brick courses. The tie bar cooperates with the plate to transmit loads oriented in any direction in the plane of the plate between the brick veneer and the back-up wall. This means that shear loadings as well as lateral loads are transmitted between the veneer and the back up wall, so that the two act as a truss structure.
