Benefits of Peikko Punching and Shear Reinforcement Systems

Peikko’s PSB® and PSB PLUS® Punching Shear Reinforcement Systems offer simple and reliable solution against punching shear failure in concrete flat slabs. Peikko’s punching and shear reinforcement systems outshine the old methods in handling the punching shear forces in cast-in-situ slabs. Instead of using downstand beams, column capitals, drop-down panels or thick slabs, you will gain many advantages by using punching and shear reinforcement. Also compared to traditional reinforcement techniques such as stirrups, PSB® Punching Reinforcement system enables up to 40% higher resistances for a given slab thickness. Even higher capacities can be achieved with PSB PLUS®, with a increase of up to 15%. This makes the system cost-efficient and practical solution for flat slabs subjected to extreme load requirements. With punching and shear reinforcement you can reduce the total slab thickness without the risk of punching failure or loss of capacity. Punching and shear reinforcement can also be used in foundations. Learn more on Peikko’s PSB and PSB PLUS® https://www.peikko.com/products/produ... https://www.peikko.com/products/produ...
