Shearfix offers many advantages over the use of loose shear links, which can be time-consuming to both design and install. A Shearfix system comprises double-headed steel studs. To simplify installation, and ensure alignment and accurate positioning within the slab, the studs are supplied welded to flat rails.
Services Team has created a faxback form for engineers to effectively summarise the critical details of their project and to request assistance with a Shearfix design. The Shearfix software and design sheet can either be downloaded from www.ancon.co.uk or are available on request from Ancon on +44 (0)114 275 5224 and info@ancon.co.uk.
