The HDB elements with double headed ribbed studs, welded to a
mounting rail, are used as shear and punching reinforcement. HALFEN
HDB shear rails are supplied as system elements, for short delivery
times, and as complete elements, which are manufactured to measure
on demand. They are preferably put in from the top after laying the
flat slab reinforcement.
They are available as 2-stud and 3-stud elements which can be
combined into larger assemblies with the appropriate arrangement.
The symmetrical arrangement of the HDB anchor guarantees the
correct installation. The clip bar ensures that the heads of the
studs are covered by concrete.
HDB anchor rail for shear reinforcement.
Assembly:
Simple and quick installation
Reduction of construction period
The longitudinal reinforcement does not have to be
enclosed.
Installation after the upper and lower longitudinal
reinforcement have been laid
Reduction of the number of anchors owing to the larger
permissible tangential anchor distances compared with brackets, in
accordance with the German National Annex NA(D) for EN
1992-1-1:2011-01 (Eurocode 2)
Planning:
Higher punching loads compared with conventional link
reinforcements, according to the German National Annex NA(D) for EN
1992-1-1:2011-01 (Eurocode 2)
Officially approved as shear reinforcement in flat slabs, floor
slabs and individual foundations
The HDB anchor rail can also be incorporated into finished and
semi-finished parts
Also approved for predominantly non static loads
Standardised product range for the most common sizes
Security:
Approved across Europe by the German Institute for Building
Technology (DIBt) in Berlin
Simple visual check of the installed elements
Virtually slip-free anchoring of the shear reinforcement
Securing of the concrete cover with the corresponding
accessories such as spacers and clamping brackets
Advantages of the HALFEN HDB anchor rails as shear
reinforcement:
Higher load bearing capacity than conventional link
reinforcements
For panel from 18 cm thick
Can also be installed in pre-fab concrete slabs
Time saving installation from above
Standardised product range with short delivery times, standard
items are available from stock
Convenient and user-friendly software
Officially approved for predominantly static and dynamic
loads
European Technical Approval ETA-12/0454
Quality features:
stud diameters 10 to 25 mm
2 and 3-stud elements
officially approved (DIBt Berlin)
ideal for for the insertion from the top after laying the flat
reinforcement
Short delivery times for system elements, available as standard
items from stock
NEW: HDB-Z punching shear reinforcement for foundation slabs and
foundations
The new HALFEN HDB-Z punching shear reinforcement now allows
an even more efficient and economic design of
foundation slabs and single foundations. Due to the
specially designed shape multi low-slip anchorage points in
the concrete a component reinforced with HDB-Z up to 100 %
more load capacity than a foundation without punching shear
reinforcement.
Quality features:
Generally approved by DIBt No. Z-15.1-330
HDB-Z with anchor diameter from 10 to 16 mm
Approved for foundation slabs and single foundations
from a height of 230 mm
For normal concrete of strength classes C12/15 to
C50/60
For predominantly static and dynamic loads
Advantages of the HALFEN HDB-Z punching shear
reinforcement:
Reduction of height for in-situ concrete and precast
foundations
Savings of material and time during excavation and
construction
Reduction of constraint forces due to smaller component
thickness
Less transport costs for precast foundations
Easy installation between the reinforcement layers
Remains firmly upright in the formwork
The HDB anchor rail as shear reinforcement
The HDB-S anchor rail consists of double headed anchors (B500
ribbed or smooth) with swaged heads. A mounting bar that is secured
by tack welds on the anchor heads, connects the individual anchors
to the HDB-S rail. HDB S rails can have up to 10 anchors, which are
preferably used from the top for laying the surface reinforcement.
By arranging the individual elements in rows, large areas can be
quickly reinforced.
Another advantage of the S-HDB anchor rail is its the virtually
slip-free bond with the concrete, which is guaranteed by the
positive engagement of the swaged heads. The shear reinforcement
can therefore be better anchored, particularly with thinner plates,
and that is why the reinforcement cross-section of the HDB-S anchor
can be reduced by up to 20%.
The HDB complete elements are welded to a flat steel rail.
Where the reinforcement is congested HDB elements are ideal for
installation from below, i.e. the elements are placed on the
formwork by special spacers. The lower and upper reinforcements are
then put into position.
Quality features:
Stud diameters 10 to 25 mm
Complete elements are manufactured to measure with 4 till 10
double headed studs
Individual distances of the studs possible for the adjustment
to the reinforcement grid
Officially approved (DIBt Berlin) for all structures with shear
loads
Spacers available for concrete cover thicknesses from 15 to 45
mm
