Tie bars for structural purposes?

If you are thinking about putting in tie bars for structural reasons I'd expect an engineer to be involved, and he will specify not only the diameter of the bars, but also the quality of the steel and design of any end plates. In Italy the authorities are very particular about structural alterations (including improvements) especially in zones considered at seismic risk, and the cost of any tie bars is likely to pale into insignificance compared with the fee payable to the engineer for his report!
Totally agree with Fillide.
