GAIN AN EDGE
Rebar channel system HAC-EDGE
As the name already reveals, the HAC-EDGE is a new addition
to the HAC cast-in anchor channel portfolio which has been
designed to fulfill the desire of positioning the fastening points
for top-of-slab curtain wall and handrail applications as close to
the concrete edge or corner as possible.
The new HAC-EDGE enables the transfer of high shear loads
towards the free concrete edge by confining the edge. Delivered
with the right pre-configured edge distance and with nail holes
in the confinement edge plate the installation into formwork
becomes easy and fast.
Engineers will appreciate the easy design with the PROFIS
software with a state-of-art design model that is based on
ESR-3520, and principles of AC232 and ACI 318.
APPLICATIONS AND
ADVANTAGES
Applications
• Fastening curtain wall brackets in top-
of-slab applications with high loads in
intermediate and corner conditions
• Fastening of balustrade base plates on
top of thin concrete members
Advantages
• Higher perpendicular shear resistance
at small edge distances and thin
concrete slabs via confinement of the
concrete edge
• Superior concrete breakout in
perpendicular shear performance in
lightweight concrete
• Comes with the right edge distance for
quicker installation
• Available with serrated channel for
seismic relevant applications and 3D
loads
• Easy design with PROFIS software with
state-of-art design model based on
ESR-3520, and principles of AC232 and
ACI 318
• Confinement edge plate is not
structurally attached to the anchor
channel, thus allowing for the shear and
tension loads to be fully decoupled
