Abstract
A seismic construction system is disclosed having in combination: a masonry anchor, a wall tie, and a facing anchor. A reinforcing wire is disposed longitudinally in the inner masonry wythe and has attached spaced pairs of transverse wire portions. Each transverse wire portion extends into the cavity and terminates in an eye wire having an eye disposed vertically in the cavity and lying in a plane normal to the masonry wythe surface. The open end of the wall tie is threaded through a pair of eye wires of the masonry anchor, which eye wire portion extends into the cavity between the inner masonry wythe and the outer facing wythe. The masonry anchor is adapted to be embedded within the inner masonry wythe; and, after threading through the eye wires, the open end of the wall tie, within the outer facing wythe. The facing anchor includes a clip member which is constructed to accommodate the open end of the wall tie member and also a reinforcing wire disposed longitudinally in the facing wythe. Upon the closed end of the wall tie being captive in the eye wires of the masonry anchor and the open end of the wall tie and the clip of the facing anchor being embedded in the outer facing wythe, a seismic construct is formed with nominal endplay along the x- and z-axes and limited movement along the y-axis.
