Stabox® reinforcement continuity system
Traditional methods of ensuring reinforcement continuity between two concrete elements require complicated, time consuming and ultimately expensive site-adapted formwork. Stabox® reinforcement continuity systems, also known as continuity strips, provide a fast, elegant and cost effective solution which allows formwork to be quickly erected and the concrete cast.
Once the formwork is stripped, the reverse of the continuity strip can be removed, exposing the captive rebar stirrups which are then re-bent to form the starter laps for the next element.
Its market-proven combination of micro-profiled sheet steel with a dovetail profile or trapezoidal box shape, ensures a strong anchorage in the concrete, meaning that Stabox® satisfies the highest design requirements for transverse and longitudinal force transmission in the joint.
Further benefits of Stabox® include:
- Rebar components are CARES approved, complying with BS 4449:2005 Grade B500B/C, which means the rebar will not crack when re-bent and the integrity of the joint is maintained.
- Stabox® is designed and manufactured to strict specifications, ensuring that the latest design standards for concrete construction are met.
- Loadbearing calculations are available for all models, including transverse and logitudinal force resistance which means that the Stabox® system can be specified across the whole project, simplifying product procurement.
- Stabox® achieves the highest “interlocked“ category within applicable standards for transverse force.
- Stabox® is available in multiple configurations, with rebar diameters of 12 and 16mm - all with galvanised castings.
- Stabox® units can be fitted to curved surfaces.
