1. Option A – when joists run perpendicular to front elevation of bay, use Bow Flex as described in BO·01 to tie the bay back to the joists. 2. Option B – when joists run parallel to front elevation of bay, use Bow Flex as described in BO·02 to tie the bay back to the joists.
Guidelines
Depending upon the condition of the masonry and the amount of damage that has occurred it may be necessary to repair and reinforce the masonry in the bay in addition to using the tying methods shown above. This can be achieved by the use of Bar Flex (see BF·12) or Cem Flex (see CF·12)
