GEWI ® Threadbar System

Connecting Reinforcement

The GEWI ® connecting reinforcement consists of prefabricated GEWI ® couplers for use in construction joints.

The transmission of the forces of the construction joint to the reinforcement of the adjacent concrete takes place by bond.

 

Coupler bar type M

The GEWI ® connecting systems with straight reinforcement consist of coupler bars type M and coupler bars type A.

These are provided in three standard lengths which cover the range of the required embedment length.

Coupler bar type A

The GEWI ® connecting bar type M is to be fixed to the formwork. For this purpose, special plugs are available which can be nailed on the formwork.

Hook bar type W

Where space is restricted, the connecting reinforcement can be shortened by using:

  • hook bar type W
  • loop bar type S
  • end anchoring bar type E.

The GEWI ® connecting bar type P is recommended whenever load transmission through a reinforced concrete wall is to be carried out.
