the-shelf devices do not currently exist. Two-piece adjustable ties(Figure 3-49) provide significantly greater compressive strengththan corrugated ties.Figure 3-49:Examples of two-pieceadjustable ties<strong>The</strong> following Brick Industry Association (BIA) technical notesprovide guidance on brick veneer: Technical Notes 28: AnchoredBrick Ve- neer, Wood Frame Construction (2002); Technical Notes28B: Brick Veneer/Steel Stud Walls (2005); and Technical Notes 44B:Wall Ties (2003) (available online at www.bia.org). <strong>The</strong>se technicalnotes provide attachment recommendations; however, they arenot specific for high-wind regions. To enhance wind performanceof brick veneer, the following are recommended:m Calculate wind loads and determine tie spacing in accordancewith the latest edition of the <strong>Building</strong> Code Requirements forMasonry Structures, ACI 530/ASCE 5/TMS 402 (ACI 530,1996)). A stud spacing of 16 inches on center is recommendedso that ties can be anchored at this spacing.m Ring-shank nails are recommended in lieu of smooth-shank nailsfor wood studs. A minimum embedment of 2 inches is suggested.m For use with wood studs, two-piece adjustable ties arerecommended. However, where corrugated steel ties areused, they should be 22-gauge minimum, 7 / 8-inch wide by 6-inch long, and comply with ASTM A 1008, with a zinc coatingcomplying with ASTM A 153 Class B2. For ties used with steelstuds, see BIA Technical Notes 28B, Brick Veneer/Steel Stud Walls.Stainless steel ties should be used for both wood and steelstuds in areas within 3,000 feet of the coast.3-62 MAKING CRITICAL FACILITIES SAFE FROM High Wind
