Smart steel. Since 1981.

A-BEAM®

A-BEAM® is a concrete-filled steel beam developed by Anstar Oy for placement inside a floor system. Thanks to a powerful composite effect, long span lengths and modifiable space solutions can be achieved affordably. In addition to hollow-core slabs, the beam can also be used for supporting thin-shell slabs, composite slabs and cast-in-place concrete slabs. The composite structures can be designed up to fire resistance class R120 without any additional protection on the site.

The standard connection is the AEP® hidden bracket to a reinforced concrete column. A connection library has also been prepared for the beam for typical connections to various frame structures. The beam type selection and preliminary dimensioning of the composite structure are performed using the ABEAM quick dimensioning software, which is available for download on the Software page.

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.
