Method A Statement
Use Bar Flex to stitch across crack as indicated in BF04. This method will repair cracking but will not strengthen
remainder of bay
Method B Statement
Use Bar Flex to stitch across crack as indicated in BF04. This method will repair cracking and will also strengthen
the areas of the bay in which the Bar Flex are applied.
Method C Statement
Bar Flex should be used around the full perimeter of the bay. These should be installed as shown in BF08 with their
ends secured to the main wall as shown in BF04. They would then form reinforced masonry beams around the whole bay. These beams can be used both above and below any windows to provide a beaming effect within the bay itself while fully securing the wholebay back to the walls of the building.
Depending upon the condition of the masonry and the amount of damage that has occurred it may be necessary to use Bow Flex ties to fix back to the floor/ceiling joists (see BO03).
