Plates & Brackets
Angle Plate & Flat Plate
Plates and Loading Brackets are used in masonry construction where walls are required to resist lateral forces such as shear loads or wind loads. These components provide a secure connection between structural elements (slabs and beams) and masonry walls, ensuring effective load transfer and enhanced stability.
They are commonly used in reinforced masonry systems and structural wall applications where higher performance and rigidity are required.
Application
In cases where design requirements specify masonry walls to resist shear or wind forces, plates, brackets, or angle systems are installed to connect slabs and beams directly to the masonry, ensuring structural integration and load distribution.
