Silva Punching Shear Reinforcement
Silva Punching Shear Reinforcement
Australian-manufactured custom shear rail system that transforms flat slab construction economics. By eliminating column head drop panels and reducing installation time, Silva Punching Shear Reinforcement delivers measurable cost savings whilst improving structural performance.
Application: High-rise residential and commercial buildings, car parks, warehouses, and any flat slab construction where punching shear reinforcement is required.
Project Benefits
Reduce building height: Eliminates column head drop panels and ligatures, saving valuable ceiling height.
Accelerate construction: Pre-fabricated rails install significantly faster than loose shear ligs.
Improve quality control: Factory-welded studs at engineer-specified centres ensure correct positioning every time.
Simplify inspection: Visual verification of stud spacing and positioning is straightforward compared to loose reinforcement.
System Design
Double-headed studs welded to non-structural steel rail that positions studs at engineer-specified centres. Studs manufactured from 500 grade deformed bar complying with AS/NZS 4671, a range of studs available to suit varying slab depths.
Local manufacturing delivers customised stud rails at short lead times. Suitable for both grid and radial reinforcement configurations with quick, easy installation from top or bottom reinforcement layers.
