Concrete reinforcement

Ancon designs and manufactures a wide range of steel fixings for use in structural concrete. The range includes:

• Shear load connectors: transfer shear across expansion and contraction joints in concrete. They are more effective at transferring load than conventional, single dowels. Design program available.
• Punching shear reinforcement: used within a slab to provide additional reinforcement around columns, Ancon Shearfix eliminates the need for localised thickening of the concrete. The system consists of double-headed studs welded to flat rails. Design program available.
• Insulated balcony connectors: Ancon Isolan provides a thermal break between external concrete balconies and internal concrete floor slabs and provides continuity to reinforcement.
• Reinforcement continuity systems: Eazistrip reinforcement continuity systems maintain continuity of reinforcement at concrete construction joints. Formwork design is simplified and there is no need to drill shuttering.
• Reinforcing bar couplers: the use of Ancon reinforcing bar couplers can simplify the design and construction of reinforced concrete, reducing the amount of reinforcement required. A comprehensive range is offered.
