PRE-CAST ELEMENTS

CONNECTIONS

Pre-cast elements threaded connections systems.

Main situations:

• Long columns that demand an extra frame just for transportation and due their dimensions demands special trucks to transportation;

• Skyscrapers columns that demand special transportation equipment with high load capacity;

• Columns that begin on the edge of leveraged beams;

• Columns that begin in transition beams;

• Removal of the blocks on the foundations, to provide a lower digging and blocks depth or low column shoes with smaller dimensions;

• Connection of beams in columns when there’s the need to absorb the inversion of bending efforts;

• Connection between beams replacing the Gerber teeth;

• Connection between beams and concrete walls;

• Vertical connection between walls;

• Horizontal connection on the stacking of walls or panels;

• Short columns for high buildings;

Advantages:

• Independent production of the elements to be assembled;

• Possibility of reduction of the additional frame for transportation;

• Substantial reduction of the assembly time;

• It dismisses any kind of provisional shoring;

• Economy on the hiring of assembly equipment;

• Elimination of special transportation;

• Economy at the block foundations;

• It dismisses a welding team on the construction.

Dimensioning of Connections

Trejor provide a free technical assistance for the dimensioning of the best connection for each situation. The customer must provide the following information:

1. Construction type;

2. Complete structure project (blueprints and cuts);

3. Concrete fck;

4. Frames or effective steel rates. Distinguish services / assembly from transportation;

5. Maximum and minimal efforts on the connections sections. Specify it they’re characteristic or from calculations;

6. Assembly types: Foundation Block x Column; Column X Column; Column X Beam; between short column in high buildings; Beam X Column; Beam X Beam; Beam X Wall; Wall X Wall (Vertical); Wall X Wall (Horizontal).

If the connection is on the foundation or over the beam, inform the block, column shoes or beams dimenstions;

7. Inform the existence of a water rain tube, in case of columns connection;

8. Number of connections;

9. Indication of the level quota or the location of requested assembly;

10. Describe the assembly process.
