Additional products for re-bar R18

Strengthening with re-bar R18 can be done with one, two or four bars. They can be applied parallel to the steel beam or with a central superelevation.

R18 end anchorage

The end anchorage base plate is adapted to the structure and bolted to the existing steel profile. Special applications or structures with extra profiles are possible. R18 nuts with washers are supplied to fix re-bar R18. The washers (spherical disc + conical seat) allow misalignment angle of up to 3°.

R18 deflection support

To increase the moment from prestressing, a deflection support can be installed in the centre of the beam. To prevent cross-sectional weakening of the steel beam at that point, the R18 deflection supports are clamped. The supports are designed for a maximum cant of 1 m. With the washers and the base incline of the bracket, misalignment of 15° is possible.

Installation instructions can be found in the product data sheet. The re-fer team provides support for special applications (e.g. installing re-bar R18 in the web region etc.). If strengthening ribs are mounted at the force transmission points, checking by the engineer is required. Application and prestressing must be done on the structure after load removal.
