Description

A cost-effective design solution which minimizes rebar congestion in both the slab and the wall, simplifies bar scheduling and is quick and easy to install with no requirement for manual bar straightening on site.


When used for shear connections, KSN Anchors are delivered to site pre-assembled as independent rows of anchors fixed with hexagon head screws to the back of a galvanized metal casing featuring a dimpled surface to provide an effective concrete bond.


Internally threaded KSN Anchors can be detailed in a single row along the slab section centreline; and anchors used at slab-to-wall connections can be designed by following a four-step EC2-compliant design method.


Features and benefits:

  • KSN Anchor Technical Approval TA 5061.
  • Eliminates risks associated with on-site bar straightening.
  • Virtually unlimited continuation bar length. Suitable for EC2 lap lengths.
  • Easy visual check of correct bar engagement.
  • Simple to schedule and fast to install.
  • No torqueing required.
  • Reduces reinforcement congestion.
  • EC2 indented construction joint.
  • Design independently-verified design method by the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering at the University of Sheffield, UK.

Manufacturer guidance

KSN Anchors:

There are eight standard anchors in the KSN range. They are manufactured from highly reliable Cr-Mo alloy steel with a minimum 15% elongation. The head is formed by hot forging to minimize material usage and improve the strength characteristics. The anchor is subsequently machined to incorporate a metric thread. Independent tests have verified the direct pull out strength of the anchors. UK CARES have independently assessed the KSN Anchor.


The Bartec Plus system produces a full strength joint. The bar end is cut square and enlarged by cold forging. This increases the core diameter of the threaded portion of the bar to ensure that the strength of the bar is maintained. A parallel metric thread is rolled onto the enlarged end. A 12 mm bar is provided with an M16 thread, a 16 mm bar with an M20 thread and a 20 mm bar with an M24 thread.

Bartec Plus Continuation Bars:

Unlike re-bend continuity systems where bar lengths are restricted to the box dimensions, there is virtually no restriction on continuation bar length with KSN Anchors. This system easily accommodates the longer lap lengths now required by BS EN 1992:1-1 (Eurocode 2). Ancon KSN Anchors are designed for use with 12 mm, 16 mm and 20 mm diameter grade B500B or B500C reinforcing bar, threaded with a Bartec Plus metric thread, supplied by Ancon. No on-site bar straightening is required.
