Individual brackets can be used to support soldier courses from above and to support non-structural arched brickwork. Both these applications involve individual brackets at 225mm centres that have stirrups welded to the underside. Stitching rods span the stirrups and support the three bricks between the brackets.
Curved Brickwork
Ancon LDBs and MDBs are ideal for supporting brickwork that is curved on plan. As an alternative, special MDA brackets can be designed to suit a wider range of loads and cavity widths.
Details for Specification and Ordering
Ancon Individual Brackets are available to suit most cavity sizes and can be specified as follows:
Type/cavity/masonry load
e.g. LDB / 50 / 8.0 Ancon will design an LDB system to suit a 50mm cavity and carry 8.0 kN/metre run of masonry.
