What is Punching Shear Reinforcement?
The JDA Punching Shear Reinforcement system consists of double-headed anchors connected by a flat strip, ensuring seamless load transfer. Available in various sizes (10-25 mm anchor diameter), it is ideal for use in cast-in-situ concrete slabs, foundations, and precast slabs.
Key Benefits:
Increased Load-Bearing Capacity: Enhances resistance to punching shear by up to 96% compared to unreinforced slabs.
Optimised Design for Flexibility: Suitable for slabs of 18 cm or more, ensuring low slab depths and efficient space use.
Certified and Compliant: Approved by the European Technical Assessment (ETA-13/0136), ensuring compliance with Eurocode safety standards.
Application and Installation
JDA elements are easy to install and reduce formwork and rebar work. They can be positioned from above or below, with flexible configurations tailored to various structural requirements. For precast slabs, the JDA-FT Klick system simplifies assembly, making it ideal for fast-track projects.
