Wind load refers to the pressure or suction caused by wind action on the surface of a building or structure.

 In addition to fencing, wire mesh is used in a variety of other applications such as filtration, reinforcement, and separation. It is commonly used in buildings to reinforce concrete structures, and in industrial settings for filtration and separation processes. The versatility of wire mesh makes it an important material for many different industries.

    Horizontal joint reinforcement is an integral component in masonry construction, crucial for enhancing the structural stability of walls.  This reinforcement consists of steel wire placed within the mortar joints between masonry units.  Its primary function is to control and mitigate the effects of cracking due to thermal expansion, contraction, and structural loads.  By providing additional tensile strength, horizontal joint reinforcement helps in distributing loads more evenly across the wall, thus preventing localized stress concentrations that could lead to structural failures.  This method is particularly beneficial in areas prone to seismic activity, where buildings must withstand lateral forces without compromising their structural integrity.

Regardless of the type of wall tie used, it is important that they are installed correctly to ensure the structural integrity of the wall. Improper installation of wall ties can lead to cracking, sagging, or even collapse of the wall. It is recommended that wall ties are installed by a qualified professional to ensure that they are placed at the correct spacing and depth.

Adaptation to new design requirements: Possible changes in building use or updates to design standards may require replacement of connectors to meet new structural performance requirements.
