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.
- Loop bar type S
- End anchoring bar type E
- Connecting bar type P
These types of connecting reinforcement are not on stock and will be customized on demand.
