Anchor type for bracing in common brick
Anchor type for bracing in common brick
(OP)
I am currently looking into a job and want to come up with some details. It's a common brick building in Chicago and at the left front corner of the building the front wall is pulling away from the side wall, leaving a crack. This has slowly been happening for 15 years he says and the crack is maxim 3/8". The owner of the building wants to stop the wall from pulling away and I'm suggesting adding a brace on the interior of the building between the front wall and side wall. There is a building adjacent to this building therefore thru bolting is not an option. There is no way to access the side wall. I'm thinking of using a 3' brace (or similar length) with baseplates anchored to the existing common brick walls. In the past I've used epoxy anchors, like Hilti HY-120. Just wanted to see if anyone has had a similar job or experience or input.
Thanks
Thanks

You can also look at Helifix products, they show details for this situation using a long helibar drilled externally through both walls at the intersection. You can bend the outer one for additional anchorage.
