Reinforced concrete rebar connection system HBT

■ - Used for the efficient connection of concrète components ■ - Dimensional stability during concreting owing to the stable Steel profiles and Steel cover ■ Approved by DIBt HALFEN HBT Rebend connections are used for efficient connection of concrete components, which are concreted in different sections. The casing is made of corrugated galvanized sheet steel with pre-punched grip holes in the cover to allow easy removal from the casing. It can be fixed to the formwork with nails or secured with a tie wire to the reinforcement. With 57 combinations of rebar and profile widths, a wide variety of optimal connections can be realized for different applications. The elements are available with concrete reinforcement steel in 8, 10 and 12 mm diameters. For the most common installation situations there is a standardised product range for one and two layer connections with casing lengths of 0.8 m and 1.25 m. HBT Rebend connections are type tested and approved by the DIBt. Product benefits • - Simple design approach according to the approval with only two basic required calculations - - Loads perpendicular to the joint - - Loads parallel to the joint • - Transfer of shear forces perpendicular and parallel to the joint with standard case • - Proof of combined shear forces perpendicular and parallel to the joint possible
