Contribute significantly to the stability, the stiffness and durability of the structure. Typically, wall ties perform three primary functions between concrete elements and masonry or a wythe of brick and its backing or another wythe of masonry:
1) provide a connection
2) transfer lateral loads
3) permit in-plane movement to accommodate differential movements and, in some cases, restrain differential movement.
In addition to these primary functions, metal ties (as joint reinforcement) may also be required to serve as horizontal structural reinforcement or provide longitudinal continuity.
