Shear Rails

Reinforce Your Builds with PTE Shear Rails

Shear Rails for Punching Shear Reinforcement

Designing efficient buildings, particularly in the context of punching shear, requires minimizing material use and labor costs—challenges that owners, contractors, architects, and engineers face globally. PTE, a leading innovator in post-tensioning systems, offers an effective alternative to conventional mild-steel shear-reinforcing stirrups and bars in column-slab connections.

Our punching shear rail reinforcement system reduces structural congestion and significantly decreases the need for localized slab thickening around column heads, providing a more streamlined and cost-effective approach.

Optimize Your Design with Shear Rails

PTE’s shear rail system offers efficient, high-capacity reinforcements that save time and space. Achieve more with fewer resources while reducing installation costs.

Large-Headed Studs

Shear rails feature large-headed studs welded to flat steel, ensuring robust support and stability for various structural applications.

Plastic Spacers for Concrete Cover

The shear rails are placed on plastic spacers (chairs) to ensure proper concrete cover, maintaining structural integrity and compliance with construction standards.

Ideal for Congested Areas

Shear rail reinforcements are designed to fit into highly-congested transfer beams/girders, walls, foundations, and anchor zones, offering versatility in tight spaces.

Reduced Conventional Reinforcement

Shear rails can replace conventional bursting steel reinforcement, providing a more streamlined and efficient alternative in areas prone to punching shear.

High Capacity and Low Cost

The shear rail system allows engineers to maintain high punching shear capacities while reducing installation costs, offering a cost-effective solution for reinforced concrete design.
