Brickforce Engineers Guide
Brickforce® has been in continuous use since 1918. Wall panels were designed to cope with lateral wind load and, by spanning between stanchion bases, eliminated the need for wall footings.

Furthermore, in 1972 when an additional factory extension was built, Brickforce® was used in the walls for wind loading and to extend the centres of movement joints. Several of these panels were 45 metres in length but there were no signs of cracking from thermal effects.
With the development of BS Codes of Practice and the Masonry Eurocode, the range of Brickforce® introduced in 1995 allows the designer more flexibility and the bricklayer an easier product to han- dle and position.
