Exactly the solution I'm looking for. The only improvement I see is a solution where you could keep on adding bars to go straight through a building. The audio is awesome BTW.
Many thanks, I am already in touch with a steel stockist and have provided measured drawings: 25mm diam rods threaded at both ends, I am now waiting for a quotation and given that the 25mm rods say...7000 approx long only weight about 20 kg I am tempted to use 32mm as they are still just about 40kg and quite mangeable for weight, may resist any potential sagging and therefore without perhaps the need for a central turnbuckle.
So I wonder You get these ties 1m 1.5m So when your drilling through the wall and the floor beams Would it be possible if you hit a live cable and got a shock from it ?? Or is there away to identify ?? Very interested please comment
They been doing this type of stuff with brick homes after they do that sometimes they will take a metal rod and run it across the tops of the bricks in the mortar to strengthen the bricks from coming down
No Clive. The lateral restraint systems lock the wall and floor structures at their pre-tied position, stabilising the wall and preventing additional movement
....after about an hour all I found was this! I need to tie a wall to another wall which is 6 meters away with nothing in between, with two screw metal plates at either end on the outside, for goodness sake, I see these all the time on old Victorian buildings, how difficult can it be to find out who suppliers them. I have had to ask a metalworkshop for a quote and no doubt I will be stiched up and end up with some customised scaffold posts!, whilst I am sure they are probably available from some Victorian Architectural Metalworkshop...sic transit...
Emilio G Banchero any small fabrication shop can make them for you but have you a calculation sheet specifying rod dia and spreader plt dimensions or are you just winging it if your looking for victorian circular plts try ballantynes at camaron iron works boness they have a web page

Such scepticism ! I have used this system to stabilise external walls after it was spec. by a structural engineer, and it worked very well, easy to install and effective. Admittedly the animation is a little unconvincing...
Second that ,brilliant and cost effective idea .Have used this technique stainless steel rods and resin . Have done it the old fashioned way years gone by ,taking out a brick and place a tie where they weren't put in . Walls buckle and are weak as a result of no ties .Genius idea doing it this way so easy .
These videos make me very suspicious. I have only seen animations which mean nothing in the real world!!!!! Let's see some genuine experienced builders/construction engineers using them and commenting on the safety and effectiveness of this technology!? These simplistic irritating videos may be obscuring more than they illuminate!

Will this pull the wall in if it’s bowed. And what stops it from coming back out.
Yikes. Are you sure the timber will not contract or expand!
So I wonder

You don't just randomly drill in to the wall. You lift up the floorboards, check and measure to make sure you avoid them!

Does the bow straighten up again?

Это для чего? Что бы кладка промерзала?
What happens if the joists are running perpendicular to the front elevation wall, can you drill into the joist ends?
No without question take plan b
Noggins. And a SE said resin is shite - best with steel plates on the outside Traditional 😃

dangerous bodge fix
Works great, until all the bricks crack.
Good animation....needs some background music!

OMG. That would never work, very dangerous.
My thoughts too
What a joke that was.
