cladding willusually necessitate the use of a stainless steel
support system for the masonry. Bracket Angle Support
SystemAnconOptima is a standard support systemavailable from stock.
It comprises a two-stepangle with pre-marked fixing zones, and
arange of interchangeable brackets to suitcavities from 60mm to
130mm. Standardsystems support a masonry load of up to14kN/m and,
depending on the type of fixings,brackets can be simply changed on
site toallow for cavity variations (pages 8-11).Locking wedges
ensure the correct contact isachieved between angle and
bracket.Ancon MDC Systems have welded bracketsand are designed to
suit specific applications.They are available in various
configurations andare ideal for supporting special masonryfeatures.
Material content is optimised toensure the most economic solution
isdesigned (pages 12-14). Continuous Angle Support SystemAncon CFA
Systems are mainly used wherecavities are small or there is a
requirement forthe cavity to be closed at the support
position(pages 20-21).Individual Bracket Support SystemAncon
Individual Brackets provide greatflexibility in design. They are
ideal for thesupport of brickwork curved on plan (pages
22-23).Stonework Support Natural stone cladding is often a
combinationof large individually-sized stones and
requiresparticular attention. Ancon MDC/S StoneworkSupports can be
designed in a variety ofconfigurations to suit the particular
application(pages 24-27).MDC/SC Stonework Support Sys temMDC

vertically betweenfloors to provide additional lateral support
forlarge panels of brickwork or panels withopenings. The range
consists of WP2Windposts that can be installed into the innerleaf
of blockwork, WP1 and WP3 Windpostsfor installation within the
cavity that leave theblockwork undisturbed and WP4 Windpostsfor
internal, single skin blockwork walls.Parapet posts are used as
vertical support forbrickwork in either parapet or spandrel panels.
Ancon Windposts and Parapet Posts aredesigned to suit specific
applications (pages 35-41).LINTELSAncon Lintels are manufactured
from stainlesssteel and do not require any further
corrosionprotection (pages 28-34). The Housing andUnilintel ranges
are designed to suit the light to heavy duty loading conditions
found in themajority of residential and commercialbuildings.Special
lintels can be manufactured to suitarchitectural features and wall
constructionsnot covered by the standard range.Hous ing LintelWP3

Support, Windposts & LintelsDESIGN CONSIDERATIONSStructures
with brick or stone cladding willusually necessitate the use of
stainless steelsupport for the masonry over horizontalmovement
joints. Differential movement,corrosion resistance, type of
cladding andframe type, all need to be considered.Differential
MovementThe maximum size of a masonry panel shouldbe restricted to
limit the effects of differentialmovement. This is particularly
important if claybrickwork is used with concrete blockworkand a
concrete frame. The outer leaf ofbuildings not exceeding four
storeys or 12 metres in height, whichever is less, may be
uninterrupted for its full height. For otherbuildings, BS 5628 :
Part 1 requires the outerleaf to be supported at intervals of not
morethan 9 metres or three storeys, whichever isless. To allow for
a vertical movement ofaround 1mm per metre, movement joints
aregenerally positioned at every storey or everysecond storey. They
are also incorporated inmany buildings of less than four storeys or
12 metres in height.Support DetailThe support will be positioned
directly over thehorizontal movement joint. The joint will
oftenincorporate a compressible filler and should beof sufficient
size to allow for expansion of themasonry below. Damp-proofing is
normallylocated at the support position. Wall tiesshould be
incorporated within 300mm aboveand below the support.Corrosion
ResistanceAncon Support Systems are manufacturedfrom grade 1.4301
(304) stainless steel andwill be suitable for most building
applications. In particularly corrosive environments, or wherepart
of the support will be visible, grade1.4401 (316) should be
considered. Bi-metalliccorrosion may occur in a damp
environmentwhere the stainless steel support system isbolted to the
structural steel frame.This will not affect the stainless steel,
but couldslightly increase the corrosion rate of thecarbon steel.
This can be prevented byexcluding moisture from the detail, or
byisolating the two dissimilar metals. Isolationpatches are
available from Ancon BuildingProducts for use with Ancon
SupportSystems. Further information is given in ourbrochure, The
Use of Stainless Steel in theConstruction Industry.Differential

is important to select the correct supportsystem to ensure that
building tolerances canbe accommodated. Adjustment will berequired
in all three planes.Ancon brackets have a slot at the back
toprovide vertical adjustment. A serrated surfaceprevents any slip.
Longitudinal adjustment isprovided by an Ancon cast-in channel
inconcrete structures, or horizontally slotted holesin steel framed
structures. The AnconOptimaSystem features a fixing zone providing
a totalof 50mm horizontal adjustment allowing thesystem to be fixed
to pre-drilled holes ratherthan slots in steelwork and eliminates
clasheswith reinforcing bars in concrete.Subject to the type of
fixing used,AnconOptima brackets can be changed onsite to suit
variations in the structural edgebeam. Other systems accommodate
suchvariations by adding shims between thesystem and the structure,
or by increasing the bearing of the brickwork. The maximumthickness
of shims should not exceed theoutside diameter of the fixing or
16mm,whichever is less. ShimsUs ed to AccommodateEnlarged

TolerancesUnless otherwise agreed, the tolerancesapplicable to cold
formed sections are shownin the table below.Fixing MethodsThere are
various methods of fixing AnconSupport Systems to the structure.
Cast-inchannels with T bolts or site drilled expansionbolts can be
used with concrete frames. Forsteel frames the choice is set screws
or AnconSteelgrip into holes in the steel edge member,or where
there is a metal deck floor, AnconCombiDeck has a horizontal
channel thataccepts T bolts. A range of suitable fixings isincluded
on page 42. Further information isgiven on pages 15 and 17, and in

Benefits of AnconOptimaTel: +44 (0) 114 275 5224 Web:
www.ancon.co.uk9AdjustmentThe Industrys growing emphasis on speed
ofconstruction, and the inability of welded bracketsupport systems
to provide sufficientadjustment on site, led Ancon to develop
theAnconOptima System. It is more adjustablethan other support
systems; brackets arechanged on site to allow for variations in
theedge beam and are available to suit cavitiesfrom 60mm to 130mm
in 5mm increments.Shims can be used for fine adjustments andshould
never need to be more than 4mm thick. The ability of welded bracket
support systemsto accommodate variations in the line of
thestructure is limited by the maximum thicknessof shims, normally
12mm. Some additionaladjustment will be possible by varying
thebearing of the brickwork on the support anglebut this will be
very limited, particularly wherepistol bricks are used. AnconOptima
accommodatesvariationsin the line of the edge beamAdjus tment of
AnconOptima 100mm 100mmWelded support systems are unlikely to
meetthe typical tolerance requirement of 20mm.With the ability to
change brackets on site,and subject to the type of fixing
used,AnconOptima meets this tolerance on cavitiesfrom 80mm to
110mm. If the system is to be fixed using expansionbolts, the
brackets can be moved to eliminateclashes between the bolts and
reinforcing bar.The AnconOptima System features a fixing
zoneproviding a total of 50mm horizontal adjustment.This also
allows the system to be fixed to pre-drilled holes rather than
slots in steelwork.Vertical adjustment is achieved in the usual
wayby the deep slot in the back of the bracket.Horizontal
adjustment can be increased byfixing the system to an Ancon channel
castinto the face of the concrete.Adjus tment of

OutUnlike bespoke systems, there is no time-consuming setting out
of individuallyreferenced components to a detailed layoutdrawing.
The smaller components ofAnconOptima are also easier to move
aroundsite, often without hiring crane time. Cutting on
siteAnconOptima is not designed for specificbuildings and certain
angles will need to be cuton site to suit the length required. Each
anglesection must have at least two brackets.CornersStandard
left-hand and right-hand corners areavailable. Each corner section
requires threebrackets in order to achieve the requiredperformance.
These sections should never be cut.InstallationInstallation of the
AnconOptima Systemprovides significant time savings over
weldedsupport systems. The preferred technique ofinstallers is to
level and fix two brackets andsimply slide the angle into position.
This reducesthe time spent tightening and loosening thefixing bolts
of a welded bracket system, inorder to achieve a level horizontal
shelf. Wherespace limitations prevent the angle from sliding,the
brackets can be positioned on the angleand conventionally fixed;
the smaller lengths ofangle simplifying this method of
installation.When the brackets and angle are in position alocking
wedge is tapped with a hammerthrough the notches in each bracket.
Thesewedges ensure the correct contact is achievedbetween angle and
brackets. A detailedinstallation guide is available from Ancon.Tel:

MDC Bracket Angle Support Systemscan carry over 8 metres of
brickwork andaccommodate any width of cavity from 40mmin its
standard form. The brackets are weldedto the angle and the material
content of bothcomponents is optimised to ensure the mosteconomic
solution is designed.Design VariationsThe Ancon MDC System can be
suppliedin a variety of configurations to suit
particularapplications and support special masonryfeatures. The
size of the support angle can bevaried to suit the thickness and
height of themasonry to be carried. Bracket spacing, depthand
height are all varied to suit loadings, fixingposition and cavity
width. There are several variations of the standardMDC System.
MDC/P has the bracketprojecting below the structure, MDC/R has
areversed angle welded to the bracket, andMDC/I is a specially
inverted system with thesupport angle at the top of the bracket.
Thesevariations allow the support leg of the angle tobe positioned
anywhere from the top of thebracket to a position below the bottom
of the bracket.Soldier courses can be suspended fromMDC systems by
using stirrups at 225mmcentres. The stirrups fit over the angle

Ancon 40/25 Channel may needto be considered. Details of these
channels areshown on page 42. The use of cast-inchannels allows the
support system to be fixedto the structure with T bolts and moved
alongthe line of the channel into the correct position.The slot in
the back of the bracket allowsvertical adjustment. This permits
greaterfreedom in the positioning of the cast-inchannel to avoid
horizontal reinforcement. As an alternative, Ancon Expansion or
ResinBolts can be used when cast-in channels havenot been included
in the edge beam.15AnconOptima Sys tem Bolted toSteel Edge Beam
StiffenersSTEEL FRAMESAncon Support Systems can be fixed directlyto
uncased structural steel frames. The fixingpositions can usually be
at constant centres tosimplify the fabrication of the steelwork.
For cavities larger than 75mm there may be a requirement for
additional fixings nearexternal corners. When fixing any
AnconSystem other than AnconOptima horizontalslots should be
provided in the steel edgebeam stiffeners to allow lateral
tolerance.If excessive movement of the support system is to be
avoided the structural edge membermust be designed to minimise
deflections andaccommodate the torsional forces created by the
eccentric load from the brickwork. Bi-metallic ContactCorrosion of
the steel frame may be slightlyincreased where there is direct
contact withstainless steel in a damp environment. This willnot
affect the stainless steel and can beavoided by isolating the two
dissimilar metals.This can be achieved by painting the contactarea
or by incorporating a separating membranethat can be supplied with
the Ancon SupportSystem. For further information see page 6.

a depth of 140mm.Fixing CombiDeck to SteelworkThe standard edge
trim used with metal deckpermanent shuttering is designed to retain
thewet concrete during construction of the floor.Ancon CombiDeck
also has to support theexternal brickwork. It is therefore
veryimportant that the outside edge of theCombiDeck remains
vertical. The installationprocedure, reinforcement requirement
andallowable overhang may be different to thoseof the edge trim
which CombiDeck replaces.The bottom of the CombiDeck should be
fixed to the top of the steelwork at 225mmmaximum centres.Fixing
straps are supplied to restrain the topedge of the CombiDeck. These
will bepositioned within 100mm of each butt jointand at centres not
exceeding 450mm. Thestraps are supplied in 2 metre lengths
forcutting and bending on site.The outer edge of the CombiDeck can
extendbeyond the steelwork up to a maximumdistance of 100mm. If a
greater distance isrequired, both the metal deck and theCombiDeck
will need to be propped. A minimum of 125mm should be left
betweenthe outer edge of the CombiDeck and the metaldeck to allow
sufficient space for the channelanchors and the local
reinforcement. Where thedecking is at 90 to the CombiDeck, the
opentroughs must be filled to retain the wet concrete.The butt
joints between lengths of CombiDeckshould be taped to prevent
concrete leakage.Maximum Overhang of CombiDeckTypical Detailsof

6.ANCON CFA CONTINUOUS ANGLESUPPORT SYSTEMAncon CFA Systems can
carry over 8 metresof brickwork and accommodate various
cavitywidths. For many applications, particularlywhere large
cavities are involved, the AnconMDC Support System may prove to be
a moreeconomical solution. Continuous angles aremore suitable for
applications where cavitiesare small or there is a requirement for
thecavity to be closed at the support position.The angles are cold
formed and will normallybe supplied in lengths of up to 4
metres.Design VariationsIn addition to variations in angle size
andthickness, an inverted version, the CFA/I, hasthe support leg at
the top and the fixing slotspositioned closer to the corner of the
angle.Steel FramesAncon CFA Support Systems can be fixeddirectly to
uncased structural steel frames.Universal beams will require an
angle to bewelded between the flanges at each bracketposition.
Horizontal slots should always beprovided in the steel edge beam to
allowlateral tolerance. The angle will have verticalslots with
serrated pads welded to the angle.The structural edge member must
bedesigned to minimise deflections andaccommodate the torsional
forces created by the eccentric load from the brickwork, if
excessive movement of the support systemis to be avoided.CFA

provide drawings showing thelocation of the fixings (cast-in
channels forconcrete frames, bolt positions for steelframes). Angle
units will be referenced andscheduled and all details submitted
forapproval before manufacture.Fabricated AnglesMany features will
need special designattention, especially if double skin brickwork
isto be supported. Fabricated angles withstiffeners, used in
conjunction with the AnconMDC System for adjacent single
skinbrickwork, is often the best solution.Curved AnglesCurved
angles can be supplied for arches orother applications. These can
be problematicto produce accurately due to the distortion ofcold
formed members during the bendingprocess. Although every endeavour
is made toachieve the required curve, our normaltolerances are not
applicable for these angles. Details for Specification and

LintelsSingle Leaf LintelsTimber Frame LintelsBox LintelsBespoke
lintels can also be manufactured to suit heavy duty situations,
special shapesand wall constructions not covered by ourstandard
range.Corrosion ResistanceAncon Lintels are manufactured
fromAustenitic stainless steel and will not requireany further
corrosion protection. BS 5977 :Part 2 : 1983 Specification for
prefabricatedlintels, recognises the unique corrosionproperties of
stainless steel in clause 4.2; It isessential to protect all steels
except Austeniticstainless steel from corrosion. A separatedamp
proof course is unnecessary with theUnilintel range, however some
authoritiescurrently require a damp proof course in areasof severe
exposure as defined in BS 5628 :Part 3 : 1985 Materials and

(0) 114 275 5224 Web: www.ancon.co.uk29Load RatiosThe safe working
loads for Housing Lintels andUnilintels in the tables on pages 30
and 31 arefor situations where the total distributed load onthe
lintel is shared between the inner and outerleaves in ratios of
between 1:1 and 3:1respectively. For other load ratios, point loads
orlintels carrying concrete floors, please contactAncon's Technical
Services Team.InstallationThe lintel should be firmly bedded in
mortarwith at least 150mm end bearing onto a fullbrick/block.
Please consult Ancon when usinglimited bearing. The front and back
of the lintelmust be level before proceeding and aseparate dpc
incorporated if required. When installing Housing Lintels and
Unilintelsthe inner and outer leaves should be raisedtogether to
avoid twisting the lintel; blocksshould continue for the full
length of the innerflange. Masonry should have a maximumoverhang of
25mm and blockwork should bebuilt as close as possible to the
upstand. Pointloads should be applied at least 150mm abovelintel
flanges.Thermal PerformanceThe thermal transmittance, i.e. U value,
ofany wall construction depends on the thermalcharacteristics of
the individual componentsbeing used. The design of both the
HousingLintel and Unilintel is such that it allows forcontinuity of
construction down to windowhead level.Housing Lintels are supplied
insulated with CFC-free, high density polystyrenemanufactured in
accordance with BS 3837 :Part 1 : 1986 to be CFC-free with an
ozonedepletion potential of zero.Fire RatingThe Housing Lintel and
the Unilintel have beenindependently assessed for their
performancein a fire and both have a one hour fire
rating.Structural PerformanceThe safe working loads are derived
bycalculation and supported by tests to establishtheir validity in
accordance with the provisionsof BS 5977 : Part 2 : 1983.Although
the lintels have a drip edge on theexternal flange to shed
moisture, goodpractice should be followed at the junction ofthe
window head and lintel by sealing with asuitable mastic, thereby
ensuring that drivingrain does not penetrate.Weep vents are
generally required above lintelsat a maximum of 450mm centres.
Eachopening should have at least two weep holesand stop ends are
required to preventmoisture penetration.Long spanning lintels and
all single leaf lintelswill require propping during installation to
limitdeflections. Technical AssistanceAncons Technical Services

TiesinCavity WallWINDPOSTSDesign ConsiderationsLarge panels of
masonry or panels withopenings can often be difficult to
justifystructurally. The traditional solutions have beento either
increase the thickness of the wall orintroduce an additional
column. AnconWindposts fit within the wall allowing theexisting
thickness to be maintained. Ancon WP1 and WP3 WindpostsAncon WP1
and WP3 Windposts are channelsection windposts which are designed
to be installed within the cavity leaving theblockwork undisturbed.
The windposts arecomplete with end connections and ties whichfit
into the vertical slots in the flanges of thechannel section.WP3

sectionwindposts designed for either small cavities orwhere wind
loads are high. One leg of theangle windpost is built into the
blockwork, andthe blockwork tied through the leg of thewindpost to
minimise any possible movementor cracking of internal finishes. If
a verticalmovement joint is required in place of atied joint, ties
with a plain end on one side canbe supplied.Ancon WP4
WindpostsAncon WP4 Windposts are generally used ininternal
blockwork walls that have a 'fair faced'finish to both sides and
where the windpostscannot protrude beyond either face.Sometimes
referred to as 'spine' posts theyare flat plates designed to fit
within the wall.Although the depth of a WP4 post is limited bythe
width of the masonry (ideally 20mm lessthan the wall width) the
thickness of the postcan vary to increase its load
capacity.Blockwork is tied through the post. Debondedties can be
used if the post is positioned at amovement joint.Typical Layout of
Windpos tsand ParapetPos tson an Elevation of BrickworkMasonry
Support, Windposts & Lintels36Windpost DesignAncon Windposts
are designed to spanvertically between floors to provide
lateralsupport for panels of brickwork. Thewindposts will usually
be restrained by thebrickwork and designed as simply
supportedbeams. Deflection under wind load will often limit
themaximum loading. Windposts can be designedas propped cantilevers
to limit deflection, thishowever will require a much larger
baseconnection which in many cases may bedifficult to
accommodate.Connections to the frame are designed to
permitadjustment during installation. Serrated surfaceswill be
provided where adjustment is in thedirection of the load. The top
connection allowsfor shrinkage or vertical movement of the frameto
take place. The type of fixing will depend onthe nature of the
frame. Expansion bolts arenormally supplied for concrete frames and
setscrews will be supplied for steel frames. Thetables on page 40
include part of the Anconrange of windposts. For further
information oradvice on specific applications, please
contactAncon's Technical Services Team. Parapet and Spandrel
PostsAncon Parapet and Spandrel Posts arerestrained by the
brickwork and designed ascantilevers. The base connection will need
tobe sufficient to resist the bending momentand may in some cases
be difficult toaccommodate within the floor construction.The height
of these posts is unlikely to bemore than 1.6 metres. The tables on

FIXINGS OTHER ANCON PRODUCTSWall Ties and Restraint FixingsIn
addition to standard cavity wall ties, Anconmanufactures fixings in
a variety of lengths andtypes for restraining brickwork, blockwork
andstonework. Restraints can be fixed to concreteand structural
steelwork, as well as any type ofmasonry.Tension SystemsTie bars
are increasingly being used instructures and buildings as an
architectural aswell as a structural element. Ancon TensionSystems
comprise a range of componentswhich can be supplied in carbon steel
orstainless steel in a variety of sizes and finishes.A variety of
assemblies can be created fromsimple tie bars to complex bracing
systemsinvolving several bars joined at one point.Shear Load
ConnectorsAncon DSD and ESD Shear Load Connectorsare used to
transfer shear across expansionand contraction joints in concrete.
They aremore effective at transferring load and allowingmovement to
take place than standarddowels, and can be used to eliminate
doublecolumns at structural movement joints inbuildings.Reinforcing
Bar CouplersThe use of reinforcing bar couplers canprovide
significant advantages over lappedjoints. Design and construction
of the concretecan be simplified and the amount ofreinforcement
reduced. The Ancon rangeincludes tapered threaded, parallel
threadedand mechanically bolted couplers.Punching Shear
ReinforcementUsed within a slab to provide additionalreinforcement
around columns, Ancon Shearfixis the ideal solution to the design
andconstruction problems associated withpunching shear. The system
consists ofdouble-headed studs welded to flat rails,positioned in a
symmetrical pattern around thecolumn head. The shear load from the
slab istransferred through the studs into the column.Insulated
Balcony ConnectorsAncon Isolan connectors join external
concretebalconies to internal floor slabs. Used tominimise cold
bridging, they provide continuityto the thermal insulation.
Standard systems,comprising rigid CFC-free polystyrene
insulationand duplex stainless steel shear reinforcement,suit most
depths of free cantilever and proppedcantilever balconies.
Conventional reinforcingbars are used to provide the tension
andcompression reinforcement.Cas t-in Channel and T-Head BoltSingle
