Traditional methods of ensuring reinforcement continuity between two concrete elements require complicated, time consuming and ultimately expensive site-adapted formwork. Stabox reinforcement continuity systems, also known as continuity strips, provide a fast, elegant and cost effective solution which allows formwork to be quickly erected and the concrete cast.
Once the formwork is stripped, the reverse of the continuity strip can be removed, exposing the captive Rebar stirrups which are then re-bent to form the starter laps for the next element.
Its market-proven combination of micro-profiled sheet Steel with a dovetail profile or trapezoidal box shape, ensures a strong anchorage in the concrete, meaning that Stabox satisfies the highest design requirements for transverse and longitudinal force transmission in the joint.
