I changed a 70year old one on my house last week. The angle iron was a little over an inch, I have no idea how they managed to balance the bricks on it

Ah so - Ninja brickies of 70 years ago - all employed on low wages. I remember my grandfather ( working from 1919 - 1979 as a decorator ) saying he never earned more than £twenty a week.

Off again. Sex mad you are

I think you've got the sex on the brain problem Noseall; loads of women have facials

 

[HERTS P&D]

loads of women have facials

And they LOVE IT!

You should have said "them", not "it", so is this anther double entendre Andy, or have you got an affinity with Nosealls predilection as well.

I don't actually see it as a problem.

I dont understand what the welded parts are for?

 

[Doggit]

Reinforcement along it's length; they'll stop it twisting and sagging.

 

[dishman]

Extra strength? More Rigidity? I would assume something like that.

Triangles are often incorporated into structural design as they increase strength

 

[banjodeano]

to be honest, i think they would have little effect, i would have thought most of the stress was downward, would those brackets help that? but hey what do i know.....i see they were just tack welded, i wonder if they were fully welded after the picture was taken (scratches head)

 

[Doggit]

Trust me, if Nosealls doing it, it'll be done right, and won't go wrong.

If the down bit is stuck to the up bit, it can't go down so easy.

 

[banjodeano]

If the down bit is stuck to the up bit, it can't go down so easy.

yeah, thinking about it, that makes sense

 

[noseall]

It was a B&B requirement. Paradoxically the welding of the strengthening triangles to the steel angle caused the steel to tug and twist slightly. I also had it done in place so that I could gauge out the brick joints so that the fillet triangles were located in sync with the brick perp's. Not a simple as it looks.

 

[noseall]

And if you look REALLY close you will see that I went to the trouble of actually sinking the angle down into the brick so that I would not end up with the bricks rising out of course as they passed over the steel.
