Application

Can be used to join post tensioned concrete balconies to a post tensioned concrete slab. Suitable for use with all types of proprietary bonded and unbonded post tensioning systems.

Description

High performance structural connection system which can be used to join post tensioned concrete balconies to a post tensioned concrete slab.


Features and benefits:

  • Suitable for use with all types of proprietary bonded and unbonded post tensioning systems.
  • Incorporates the Halfen HIT Structural Thermal Break, allows balconies to be cast together with the main slab and then simultaneously tensioned.
  • Transfers tension and compression forces in addition to bending moments and shear forces.
  • Two insulation thicknesses available (80 and 120 mm) offering exceptional thermal efficiency.
  • Fully integrated REI 120 fire protection.
  • All support elements are sufficiently secured in a sturdy housing to ensure safe delivery, transport and easy on-site handling.
  • Symmetrical connector simplifies installation.
  • Enabled by UKTA-0836-22/6015 - Annex D.
