A proven solution – prefabricated
Flat slab construction is among the most efficient methods of construction, enabling a consistent head space (i.e. a flat soffit) to be achieved across the entire floor layout of services and reduced overall floor –to-floor heights.
The challenge faced by engineers is that the weight of the slab supported directly on a column creates concentrated localized shear stresses which, without the necessary reinforcement, could result in the slab “punching” through the column.
Shearail – faster, easier and more efficient flat slab construction
Shearil combines a superior links, providing improved anchorage with the convenience, speed and quality assurance of the prefabricated system. The design if the system is in accordance with BS 8110. This means that the link arrangements you currently use can be converted directly into a Shearail system.
