JORDAHL JTA-RF hot-rolled anchor channels used in combination with suitable screws form a secure fastening solution for heavy curtain wall elements on skyscraper ceiling slabs. They are concreted into the ends of reinforced components. In applications affected by high shear loads and reduced edge distances, such as façade applications close to the edge, JTA-RF anchor channels provide optimum fixing of the shear loads in the concrete thanks to the welded-on reinforcement bars used as anchors. The length of the rails and the number of reinforcement bars can be individually adapted to the requirements of the project.
Advantages
- Fixing heavy curtain wall elements to the face of ceiling slabs
- Suitable for skyscrapers
- Prevents broken edges
- Fast installation and compensation of structural tolerances
- Small edge clearances possible
- For transferring tensile forces from wind loads into ceiling slabs
- Suitable for slim prestressed concrete ceiling slabs thanks to low installation height
