Rapid construction with T-head rods

T-head reinforcement consists of rebar with a mechanical anchoring unit attached to one or both ends. Internationally, such reinforcement is referred to as "T head bars (bars). The anchoring unit is usually in the shape of a plate, so the end of the rebar looks like the letter 'T'. Therefore, the term 'T-headed bar' has become commonplace.

T-head rebar is used as regular rebar, where mechanical anchoring (T-head) is an alternative to hook, anchor bend or straight anchor length. T-head reinforcing bars are mainly straight bars, which are easier and faster to handle and install than bent or hooked bars. This leads to savings in construction time. T-head bars were originally developed to solve design and braiding problems, usually related to limited space for reinforcement placement. They not only solve design and braiding problems, but have a significant impact on the construction process and improved working conditions due to easy and fast installation.

HRC T-head shear reinforcement can be installed quickly, even through multiple layers of reinforcement. Customers report that installation is up to five times faster than with conventional braces. Reducing the number of reinforcement bars, by choosing fewer bars of larger diameter, further enhances this effect.

Another example is the use of HRC T-head bars in the anchoring zones of prestressing. This often requires cages with dense reinforcement. Structural HRC T-heads provide rigid anchoring with high capacity and excellent constriction effect. Reinforcement diameters can be chosen without regard to bending diameters. On the construction site, installation of straight bars with HRC T-head is fast and convenient. Again, many thin bars with hook ends can be replaced by fewer bars with larger diameter and T-head at both ends. Fewer bars reduce clogging in the reinforcement and improve casting conditions in this crucial part of the structure.

HRC100 series T-head bars are known for their high performance, confirmed by certifications according to ISO 15698 category B3 and S and CE marking. HRC Europe has developed its own technology and quality control system.
