The reliable punching shear reinforcement
In slender flat slabs supported by point columns, there is a risk of punching shear failure at the columns. Schöck Bole® addresses this challenge as a reliable and cost-effective punching shear reinforcement solution.
Service and Knowledge
The challenge and the solution
Slender flat slabs have a low resistance capacity to punching shear loads. Punching shear failure can be a result of concentrated loads or bearing reactions on small surface areas. This particularly occurs around columns, and at wall ends and corners. Punching shear reinforcement is therefore necessary to increase the load-bearing capacity of flat slabs.
With Schöck Bole®
With the Schöck Bole® punching shear reinforcement, flat slabs achieve nearly 100 percent higher load-bearing capacity.
Without Schöck Bole®
With conventional solutions, such as stirrups or bent-up bars, only 60 percent of the load-bearing capacity of Schöck Bole® can be achieved.
