YOUR HIDDEN STRENGTH
Brickforce has been in continuous use since 191 8 and was used in BRC's original Stafford factory
built in 1925/26. Wall panels were designed to cope with lateral wind load and, by spanning
between stanchion bases, eliminated the need for wall footings.
Furthermore, in 1972 when a n additional factory extension was built, Brickforce was used in the walls for wind loading and t o extend
the centres o f movement joints. Several o f these panels were 45 metres in length b u t there were n o signs o f cracking from thermal
effects.
To cater for t h e increased use o f bed j o i n t reinforcement, BRC's range was increased w i t h the addition o f Bricktor, Wallforce and Bricktie
- all designed for specific purposes together w i t h fabricated corners, T-sections and other shapes.
W i t h the development o f BS Codes o f Practice and the Masonry Eurocode, the range o f Brickforce introduced in 1995 allows the designer
more flexibility and the bricklayer an easier product t o handle and position.
This is achieved by using a range o f different flattened wire sizes w i t h an integral cross wire. As the cross wires are in the same plane
as the main wires, Brickforce is only between 2.75 m m and 3 m m thick overall, achieving maximum cover for bond and ease o f handling
and placing. Furthermore, t o ensure the correct product is used, every strip o f Brickforce is marked by ink jetting, w i t h t h e product name
and size code, plus a production traceability code, for QA purposes.
This guide has been produced to help engineers appreciate the advantages o f using structural bed j o i n t reinforcement together w i t h the
necessary information for designs t o be undertaken. If further assistance is required, our technical team will be pleased t o help w i t h either
telephone queries or design requests.

This flexibility gives the Design Engineer the ability t o save on other materials. For
example, wind posts can be designed out, top rails removed in laterally loaded
panels and minimum wall widths maintained. Masonry lintels and beams can also
be achieved with the use o f Brickforce.
To assist site installation, the main wires are flattened to between 2.75 and 3.00
m m with the cross wires in the same plane. This ensures lapping and crossing at
intersections can be achieved while achieving the code requirements for material
Available in various widths
thickness and cover.
Important Notes:-
1. Brickforce is now produced with a characteristic tensile strength o f 500 N/mm
2. The equivalent diameter o f the wire is given to enable the cross sectional area to be calculated and is a minimum. The flattening
process also lengthens the wire and hence reduces the cross sectional area. To compensate for this reduction, BRC uses a larger
diameter wire initially, t o ensure that after flattening the minimum equivalent diameter is as stated. An Engineer can design with
confidence, knowing Brickforce is manufactured with CARES approval and our Company and Factory Quality Control Management
System (QMS) has received BS EN 1509002:1994 recognition.

The table shows the most common widths o f Brickforce and these are carried in stock in both stainless steel and galvanised finishes and
for all diameters. Others sizes are available and made t o order.
Product Reference
As Brickforce is available i n stainless steel and galvanised wire for each diameter and for many widths, each type o f Brickforce has its
o w n unique reference.
For example:- The diameter reference BF35 is preceded by the finish type (5 = Stainless Steel, G = Galvanised) and followed by the product
width.
Therefore, SBF35W60 is Stainless Steel Brickforce w i t h main wires o f 3.58 equivalent diameter and a width of 6 0 mm. (For 100 rnm wide
brick/block).
Benefits
The Design Engineer can select a suitable diameter for the most economical design.

DESIGN NOTES
All structural bed joint reinforcement is covered by BS5628 Part 2, the Code o f Practice for the structural use
of reinforced and pre-stressed masonry. The main points o f this code in relation t o bed joint reinforcement are
listed....
1. For laterally loaded panels a cross sectional area of reinforcement at 14mm2 is required, placed at vertical intervals not exceeding
450mm. Furthermore, the partial safety factor for the compressive strength o f masonry should be taken from clause 27 o f 855628
Part 1.
3. Various design methods are acceptable, the more popular for lateral
load resistance is A5 method three: Design using modified orthogonal
ratio. A typical panel design using this method is shown on pages 19 and 20.
I m p o r t a n t Notes:
The maximum depth of reinforcement becomes critical at laps, corners, intersections and wall t i e positions - hence BRC's preference for
flattened wires. This flattened profile, together with the integral cross wires, enables larger diameters of wire to be used without an
increase in the overall steel thickness, therefore, reinforcement continuity can be maintained. By using welded corner units and T-sections
etc., within the maximum steel depth o f 6mm the bricklayer has no problems with layer build up, and the bed joint thickness remains as
designed.
Also, by using a larger diameter at 450mm centres instead o f a smaller one at 225mm centres, minimum quantities o f reinforcement
are used, construction is faster and wall ties can be easily positioned i n the intermediate bed joints.
6. The minimum cover stipulated in B55628 Part 2 is 15mm, but i t is usual when designing t o use 20mm. This will allow for
either raked joints or give the bricklayer 5mm tolerance when
laying the reinforcement.
I. The tables for 215mm wide block assume the use of collar
jointed wall construction in accordance with BS5628 Part 1.
The reinforcement used in BRC Bricktie, is made from the
same range o f wire diameters as Brickforce, but has 20mm x
3mm cross pieces, enabling the wall t o be designed as a single
leaf.

LOAD TABLES FOR REINFORCEMENT OF LATERALLY LOADED
MASONRY PANELS
To demonstrate the flexibility o f our Brickforce range, a set o f tables has been developed
showing the ultimate lateral load capacities for various panel sizes using different diameters of
Brickforce wires.
These tables should also prove invaluable during initial overall design as a guide t o the selection o f panel lengths, superstructure layout,
quantities etc., before final design is required. Assistance w i t h these tables, or panels w i t h openings is available by contacting our
technical team.
N o t e s on D e s i g n Tables
1. The load tables give the ultimate load capacity (in KN/M2) o f various unreinforced and reinforced wall panels under uniform lateral
building.
2. Partial safety factors adopted: ym= 3.0, ymm= 2.3, yms= 1.15.
3. These tables have been prepared in accordance w i t h BS5628 (Part 2) using A5 method 3. Characteristic tensile strength o f steel
= 500 N/mm2.
4. Precompression due t o self weight o f the wall panel has been taken into consideration.
Block Density = 6.5KN/m3. Brick Wall Density = 20 KN/m3. Mortar Designation = (iii).
5. Block strength and brick "water absorption" are specified in tables.
8. Brickforce reference selected must be prefixed by either '5' for stainless steel (external walls) or 'G' for galvanised steel (internal walls).
Eg. SBF4OW60 is stainless Brickforce 4 m m diameter w i t h a width o f 60 mm.
Use o f Tables
1. Check l i m i t i n g dimensions o f panel. This panel also demonstrates how a block width can be maintained by reinforcing w i t h
Brickforce rather than increasing the block thickness (e.g. 6000 unreinforced = 140 block: 6000 reinforced = 100 block w i t h Brickforce).
2. Check l i m i t i n g area o f panel. This table shows increases in area available by using Brickforce, as indicated in t h e Code o f Practice
855628 Part 2. I f designing a single leaf wall, the burgundy figures i n the panel capacity tables show panel sizes complying w i t h the
code requirements. The blue figures are for use when considering the leaf t o be part o f a cavity wall and the limiting area should be
checked from the table.
3. Cavity walls. Look u p relevant wall types and thickness as below and add together t o give ultimate panel capacity:
a) Unreinforced 102, brick outer leaf page 8, and reinforced inner leaf pages 9 t o 16.
b) Both leaves reinforced pages 9 t o 16.
Single Leaf walls. Use tables on pages 9 t o 16.
Where the enhancement o f lateral load capacity of a panel is greater than 50% it is advisable t o check serviceability and deflection.
For any wall type not included, ring our Technical Department.

PANELS WITH OPENINGS
As an alternative to using additional supports such as windposts t o cope with doors and windows in masonry panels, it is possible in the
majority of situations to use Brickforce in the bed joints t o enhance the wind load capacity o f the panel. This is generally a far more
cost-effective solution.
\ /
Panel designed with bands of Brickforce above and below window, carrying wind load
from central window band.
If masonry between windows can span vertically the depth of the window (carrying
wind load from adjacent windows), the panel may be designed with bands of Brickforce
above and below.
Panel designed with a band of Brickforce over the door, carrying wind load from panel
'/ below. I t is advisable t o check the panel a t the side o f the door, although in most cases
i t has sufficient capacity unreinforced.
\
Invariably in this situation a support is required adjacent to the door, and the panel
divided into sub-panels.
I
I t should also be noted that the Brickforce, which initially has been designed t o carry the lateral wind loading, will also provide crack
control for the openings.
Note: I f the door is outside the middle third, in the majority of cases the panel a t the side o f the door (2.1 high) will have sufficient
capacity unreinforced, but in extreme cases may require reinforcement. Contact BRC Technical Department for assistance.

DESIGN CALCULATIONS
TYPICAL DESIGN OF WALL PANEL TO RESIST LATERAL LOADING
Where lateral loading occurs, and enhanced resistance to the load is required, bed joint reinforcement should be used as required by
Clause A2.4 (Annex A) of BS5628 Part 2:2000. This states that i t may be assumed the wall will have enhanced lateral load resistance
compared with an unreinforced wall, if reinforcement with a minimum cross sectional area o f 14mm2 is placed at vertical centres not
exceeding at 450 mm.
It is normally more economical to reinforce a wall t o resist horizontal pressure than to provide alternative solutions such as intermediate
tiers, windposts or an increase in wall thickness.
The following calculations show the design case A5 method 3 from BS5628 Part 2 using a modified orthagonal ratio. To enable this
method to be used, bending moment co-efficient tables are also provided on pages 21 t o 23.
Consider a panel 6 metres high and 7.5 metres long, simply supported on four sides.
7.5 m
102 brick outer/50 cavity/l40 block inner
Wind force unfactored = 0.50kN/mm2
Factored = 0.5 x 1.2 = 0.6kN/mm2
Hence:-
Characteristic compressive strength = 5.8 N/mm2
Characteristic flexural strength parallel t o bed joint = 0.4 N/mm2
Characteristic flexural strength perpendicular t o bed joint = 1.1 N/mm2
WALL PANEL: 1 = 6 = 0.8 Orthagonal ratio = 0.36
L 7.5
Design strength of cavity wall = 0.21 + 0.21 = 0.42 kN/m < 0.6 kN/m2

Linear interpolation of p and H/L is permitted.
Notel :
When the dimensions o f a wall are outside the range o f H/L given in this Table, it will usually be sufficient t o calculate the moments on
the basis o f a simple span. For example, a panel of Type " A having H/L less than 0.3 will tend to act as a free-standing wall, whilst the
same panel having H/L greater than 1.75 will tend t o span horizontally.

REINFORCED MASONRY LINTELS & BEAMS
For many years Brickforce has been successfully used t o reinforce masonry lintels over openings. Providing temporary support is used
during construction, this method is cost effective as generally only t w o courses o f Brickforce are required.
In many cases, if Brickforce is being used for crack control, the lintel is redundant. The anchorage o f Brickforce is far superior t o a lintel
and a more monolithic structure results.

For walls being built o n existing floors Brickforce can be used t o design t h e wall as a vertical beam, thus reducing the load o n t h e floor
and t h e subsequent deflection, and also protecting against cracking in the wall finish.

DEVELOPMENT, TESTING A N D QUALITY CONTROL
BRICKFORCE together with BRC's other masonry reinforcement products is manufactured with CARES approval.
Our Company Quality Management Systems (QMS) have also received BS EN IS09002:1994 recognition.
To assist in product traceability, each strip o f Brickforce is now ink jetted a t regular intervals along one wire w i t h its reference and a
manufacturing code. This ensures t h a t the bricklayer uses the correct product and helps the Engineer t o easily check o n his specification
- ensuring every strip can be traced t o the day o f manufacture and the original material from which it was made.
Production
Brickforce is made in accordance w i t h 855628 Part 2 for structural reinforcement. Regular daily checks are made on the size, strength,
flatness and cross sectional area o f the wire. As the flattening process also elongates the wire and reduces the diameter, the production
process is started w i t h a larger diameter wire than required, so after the flattening loss o f diameter, the minimum cross sectional area
as stated is achieved.
British Standards
Bed j o i n t reinforcement is covered by the following British Standards t o which BRC products conform.
