HALFEN HBT Rebend Connections
Preserve reinforcement continuity in connected concrete members
HALFEN HBT Rebend Connection is an engineered system which provides
a simple, time-saving, and cost effective solution to maintain
reinforcement continuity across structural joints in concrete
members. Special reinforcement bars are utilized to make sure the
structural integrity and ductility of the reinforcement is
maintained after installation.
The HBT Rebend Connection is cast into the concrete member leaving the reinforcement legs housed inside of the steel casing until the contractor is ready to pour the adjoining member. The special casing is engineered to provide sufficient shear friction within the joint thus eliminating the need for traditional joint preparation which can be costly and time consuming.

Advantages at a Glance:
- Specifically manufactured highly ductile rebar allows rebending of the reinforcement without losing structural integrity
- Profile and cover made of galvanized steel to prevent corrosion
- Perfect in combination with slip formwork
- Provides a reliable, engineered keyway to ensure structural performance of concrete joints
- Specially designed edges of the casing in combination with pre-cut holes allow for easy removal of the lid
Features:
- Simplifies formwork design
- Quick and easy installation decreases overall construction time
- Reduces field labor cost
- Improves job-site safety by eliminating exposed reinforcement bars
- Variety of reinforcement configurations available
- Special structure of the casing eliminates the need for time consuming joint preparation
- Casing provides excellent friction characteristics to transfer shear
- No post-drilling in concrete areas with high density of reinforcement
- Shallow casing enables easy application in thin precast units
