Lapped joints are not always an appropriate means of connecting rebar. The use of steel rebar couplers can simplify the design and construction of reinforced concrete and reduce the amount of reinforcement required.
The threaded steel coupler system is designed as a threaded reinforcement connection with 100% load transmission. The steel coupler rebar connection system is suitable for both static and dynamic load transmission in construction joints.
The coupler is designed as a threaded reinforcement connection for formed construction joints. Reinforcement work is normally carried out on both sides of the construction joint using lap joints or one side is anchored. The bar lengths are based on the structural analysis requirements of the building component and are calculated from anchorage and lap lengths.
Advantages of Steel Couplers Rebars:
1. Rebars are cut and bent to exact specifications, ensuring precision and consistency.
2. Cut and bend reinforcement bars do conform to BS 8666.
3. Material wastage is controlled and reduced.
4. Lesser on-site labour is required.
5. Better utilisation of on-site space, logistics and reduction of inventory on-site.
6. In-house processes and procedures that ensure traceability down to the order level
7. Weather independent
