Introduction<\/h3>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The Vista VEW1 range of windposts are of angle section where the inner leg \u2018A\u2019 of the post is built into the inner leaf with the return leg \u2018B\u2019 sitting in the cavity.\u00a0 Vista VEW1 Windposts are generally used for heavily loaded conditions or for small cavities where the Vista VEW2 type post may not fit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

Vista WPTC<\/h3>\n

One-way windpost tie usually only required when the Vista VEW1 is being used at a movement joint location or at an opening.\u00a0 Not supplied as standard please specify if required when ordering.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Vista WPT2<\/h3>\n

Two-way windpost ties usually supplied 200mm long. The ties can be supplied with a debonding sleeve for windposts being used at movement joint locations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Performance Tables<\/h3>\n

Windposts are designed as simply supported beams with a maximum design strength of 230N\/mm2 and a maximum deflection of span\/360. Design resistances should be compared with factored loads. Recommended loads include a variance factor of 1.5<\/p>\n
