TSR

Description

The TSR punching shear reinforcements are used in flat slabs or ground slabs and provide additional reinforcement around columns and wall ends.

TSR – shear reinforcement ensures:

• Higher punching resistance than conventional stirrup reinforcement
• Simple and efficient installation
• Low formwork costs
• Optimum use of space – a large distance between supporting columns
• Easy installation from above and below.
• Easier installation of building utilities under slabs, such as pipes or ducts.

TSR consists of double headed studs connected by an assembly profile – a strip of flat steel. The products designed and manufactured by Terwa ensure a much simpler installation of the product than other traditional reinforcement elements (stirrups). This applies in both cases – when TSR is used in cast-in situ or in precast elements.

Being a fully integrated system in prefabricated elements, it is therefore, an ideal system for thin monolithic structures or flat concrete slabs.
