Reinforced Concrete Slabs
Reinforced Concrete Slabs
Solutions for shear force transmission
From concrete slabs in high-rise buildings to supporting walls of underground garages: whatever the situation, Stacon® can be used to transmit shear forces in expansion joints free of constraint forces.
The ideal punching shear reinforcement
Flat slabs supported on columns offer many benefits for designing flexible floor plans in industrial and commercial buildings.
Concrete formwork for the perfect frame
Schöck Signo® stop-end panels are used instead of conventional concrete formwork made of timber or polystyrene.
Reinforced concrete floor slabs: versatile and resilient
Reinforced concrete floors not only offer flexible design options, they can also carry heavy loads and span considerable distances. As the construction of reinforced concrete slabs is inherently complex, product solutions are required that rationalise the manufacturing process. This includes reinforcing elements around columns to prevent punching shear failure of the floor slab, secure connections in expansion joints for transmitting shear forces and permanent formwork at the edges of slabs.
Innovative solutions for optimised floor slabs
Considerable effort is frequently required in terms of construction engineering to ensure the transmission of shear forces in expansion joints. A more efficient solution is to use the Schöck Stacon® shear force dowel.
Flat slabs without downstand beams or column head reinforcement are popular as the formwork and reinforcement layout are straightforward. However, in point-supported systems there is a risk of punching shear failure of the floor slab which can be prevented by using the Schöck Bole® punching shear reinforcement.
The Schöck Signo® permanent formwork provides an efficient visually appealing edging for concrete floor slabs. This can permanently remain in the structure – which makes the construction process faster and more efficient.

Schöck Stacon®
From concrete slabs in high-rise buildings to supporting walls of underground garages: whatever the installation situation, it takes considerable effort to ensure that shear forces are distributed in expansion joints free of constraint forces.
Conventional measures inevitably involve using supporting brackets, sliding bearings or lap joints. These systems all take a lot of time and effort to install.

Schöck Bole®
Flat slabs supported on columns offer many benefits for designing flexible floor plans in industrial and commercial buildings.
In combination with non-load-bearing separating walls, they reduce the formwork and reinforcement expenditure, eliminate obstructions that might otherwise hinder the internal finishing work below the floor slab and allow the full floor to floor height to be used.

for building the perfect frame.
Schöck Signo®
Schöck Signo® stop-end panels are used instead of conventional concrete formwork made of timber or polystyrene. This formwork method offers a high-quality edging when manufacturing prefabricated concrete balconies, floor slabs, walls and stairs at the precast plant.
State of the art technology
From shear force transmission in expansion joints and punching shear reinforcement for columns and walls to formwork as a visually appealing concrete finish - Schöck offers state-of-the-art engineering solutions for reinforced concrete floors.
Schöck Stacon® is the first and so far only heavy-duty dowel in expansion joints to have the fire protection classification R 120, which is regulated in the European Technical Assessment (ETA). Tests to optimise the heavy-duty dowel for higher load-bearing capacities in thinner components were carried out using state-of-the-art technology.
The different types of Schöck Bole® punching shear reinforcement enable efficient installation adapted to different boundary conditions: for installation before, during and after laying the reinforcement as well as for installation in the precast plant.
