Abstract

Embodiments of the invention relate to clips for mounting on a support rail or sub-girt (such as an FRP sub-girt) and wall system assemblies that include such clips. An embodiment of the clip includes a first arm portion, a second arm portion, a connecting ledge connecting the first arm portion to the second arm portion, and a retaining arm portion connected to the second arm portion such that a retention cavity is defined between the retaining arm portion and the second arm portion. The clip may be mounted on a sub-girt at a mounting location such that a flange of the sub-girt resides in the retention cavity of the clip and such that the connecting ledge of the clip seats on a support surface of the sub-girt. When so mounted, the second arm portion of the clip covers the entirety of the outer surface of the flange and the retaining arm portion of the clip covers at least a portion of the inner surface of the flange such that both the second arm portion and the retaining arm portion are available – along with the sub-girt flange – to receive a fastener. When so mounted, the first arm portion of the clip is available to help retain an insulation layer in a wall system assembly.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for structural reinforcement against shear forces. The reinforcement systems comprise a fluid- applied coating applied to a surface of a substrate of a structure and a mesh applied to the fluid applied coating, adhered to the substrate by the fluid applied coating, and exhibiting an area density of at least about 200 g/m2. The mesh can be disposed between the first and a second fluid-applied coating and can be oriented in various configurations to increase the resistance of the substrate to shear forces.
