Re-Fab Shear Reinforcement

Re-Fab Shear Reinforcement


Re-Fab RSR rail systems are designed to enhance the strength of the slab to column connection. By having a pre-designed product the location of the PSR studs on the base rail are predetermined thus helping eliminate placement errors. The full yield strength of the PSR studs are used in tension therefore making it possible to design thinner slabs even when they are governed by shear. The RSR rail system distributes forces over a larger critical area to prevent punching shear. This system also provides a more ductile and higher ultimate strength concrete slab the efficient anchorage.



Re-Fab RSR rail systems are designed to reduce formwork and labor costs. The RSR system allows the use of fly-forms by eliminating column capitals, drop panels and beams. Installation time and worker fatigue is reduced by using the RSR rail system versus installing typical hairpins and stirrups. Our system arrives to the jobsite ready to install; palletized and color coded for quick and easy installation. Each floor has an installation schedule which color codes each column for trouble-free placement. By also reducing the congestion around slab column connections, labor is also reduced by allowing easier installation of post-tension tendons, conduit and other embedded items.



Re-Fab RSR rail system is manufactured here in the USA. All of our steel is melted and manufactured in the USA and consists of a very high percentage of recycled steel. We have helped several owners and contractors with proper mill certification and recycled content documentation achieve very high LEED certifications. Our competitors claim to have a US product but can not back up having a product that the raw steel and the assembly of the product is completely made in the USA. By using Re-Fab RSR rail system you can be confident you have the best product on the market at a competitive price that is MADE IN THE USA.
