Punching shear reinforcement ARMATEC

Armatec allows the construction of thinner floor slabs. It is composed of a series of forged studs to reinforce the most critical zone of the slab. The studs are made of bars in B500B grade serrated steel with nail shaped forged ends. They are welded on a steel cleat. Armatec stud cleats are located in the slab according to a radius implantation pattern around the column. Benefits Slightly reduces the thickness of the slabs and or increases the span between columns Eliminates beam drops, which increases the floor height or allows for lower construction Strongly reduces the cost price of floors in underground parking lots Nodes at column head are easier to make No additional costs for the special formwork for column capital or slab overthickness Total passage of pipes without obstacle under the floor slab Supports higher loads than traditional reinforcements
