AHK® column shoe
APK®-CM beam shoes are used in moment-stiff beam-to-column connections of industrial concrete element frames. The beam shoes are also suitable for heavy-duty concrete element frame connections in office, commercial and public buildings. The APK®-CM beam shoe is manufactured in accordance with SFS-EN 1090-2:2018 and is designed according to the requirements of the European standards.
The connection consists of a prefabricated beam shoe that is installed in the beam’s element formwork before casting. The column element has an anchoring bolt corresponding to the shoe as well as rebar coupler connection pieces. The connection can also be used to form continuous moment-stiff beam frame structures in the concrete element frame. The beam shoe anchoring bolts are ALP®-P2S and ALP®-P2SM.
Beam shoe connection design is made easy and fast with A-COLUMN® design software.

Products
A-BEAM®
A-BEAM® and Anstar’s connection technology form part of the frame system, offering cost-efficiency and flexibility for construction.
Ties
Diagonal ties are used in concrete sandwich panels to connect the outer skin with the inner skin through the insulation layer. The ties transfer the self-weight and wind loads of the outer skin to the inner skin.
Fastening plates
Fastening plates are used on cast-in-place and prefabricated structures to provide a mounting surface for welding.
Balcony connections
Balcony hinges are used to transfer horizontal forces from the balcony to the building frame. The hinged connection enables vertical movement.
Bolts and shoes
Column shoes and anchor bolts are used to connect precast concrete frames to foundations and column extensions.
Brackets and supports
Anstar has developed bracket and support systems for efficient and affordable construction. The connection parts are easy to install both at the prefabrication factory and on site.
Rebar couplers
Rebar couplers are used for joining rebars with full tension capacity. The ends of bars to be joined are provided with threads, and the bars are joined using a coupler sleeve that transfers the force on the rebar across the connection.
Bracing connections
ADE® and ADK® bracing connections are designed for stabilising the concrete element frame. These connections
are used in the joints between concrete columns and stabilising steel bracings.
