Abstract:
1. A restoration anchoring system for cavity walls having an inner wythe and an outer wythe, said restoration anchoring system comprising: a first helical dowel having a leading end and a trailing end, said helical dowel for threading through an opening in the outer wythe and for the securement of said leading end in the inner wythe; a seismic T-clip having a connector channel and normal thereto at least one reinforcement channel, said connector channel dimensioned to receive said trailing end of said helical dowel, said reinforcement channel having a length that is greater than a width of said connector channel; and, a reinforcement member disposed within said reinforcement channel of said seismic T-clip and, in turn, embedded within said outer wythe; whereby said restoration anchoring system, upon captively embedding said reinforcement member in said outer wythe restores the cavity wall and forms a seismic construct.
