摘要

The system comprises a reinforcement grid comprising a first plurality of spaced parallel rods 103, a plurality of masonry units each comprising an interior face defining at least one keying feature 307, and a plurality of positioning elements 701 each comprising a receiving feature 703 for receiving one of the rods and having one or more keying members 705a, 705b for keying with the keying features of the masonry units. Each positioning element may have two perpendicular keying members. Each positioning element may comprise two or more ties 801 each having a receiving portion for receiving one of the rods and a spacing portion comprising a plate 805 having a plurality of perforations 811 and which is perpendicular to and rotatable about the received rod. The positioning element may further comprise an elongate connecting member 903 extending parallel to the rods and through a perforation in the plate to prevent rotation of the ties when they are attached to different ones of the rods, and a clip comprising the keying members and a connecting feature to connect the clip to the connecting member. The grid may comprise a second plurality of rods 105 at 45 degrees to the first rods. The keying features may be slots.
