Examples of completed projects with wall ties (vertical ties)
Advantages of wall ties
Types of wall ties
In this category, you can see various types of wall ties suitable for civil and construction projects:
Horizontal wall tie: For restraining the wall along the horizontal direction.
Vertical wall tie: For increasing wall resistance in height (vertical direction).
Metal wall tie: Made of high‑durability steel profiles.
Prefabricated wall tie: Faster installation and simpler execution.
Application of wall ties
Increasing the safety of internal and external building walls; preventing wall failure and collapse during an earthquake; improving wall integrity and its connection to columns and beams; proper masonry execution in accordance with national building regulations. Wall ties are used in various parts of construction and are widely employed to increase safety and stability. Their most important applications are:- Restraining partition walls: Preventing interior walls from collapsing during earthquakes.
- Strengthening exterior facades: Maintaining the integrity of the building facade against wind or vibrations.
- Protecting side walls: Synchronizing walls with structural movements in high‑rise buildings.
- Use in industrial structures: Restraining perimeter walls against environmental forces such as strong winds.
Execution regulations for wall ties
Proper installation of wall ties must comply with building codes and standards. The most important regulations are:
-
Spacing: Vertical wall ties should be installed at maximum intervals of 3 meters, and horizontal ties at 4 meters.
-
Connections: Welding or bolting with at least 4 connection points per floor is mandatory.
-
Material strength: Profiles must be rust‑proof and corrosion‑resistant.
-
Connection method: In concrete structures, attach to beams or slabs; in steel structures, attach to columns.
-
Special requirements: In high‑rise buildings or high‑seismic zones, wall ties are mandatory.
Compliance with these regulations will prevent wall cracking and reduce finishing damage.
