Variable screw system:
PSF column shoe system

The introduction of the stan­dards DIN 1055-4 wind loads and DIN 1045-1 reinforced concrete have increased the technical requirements in the field of structural engineering and the assembly of precast concrete columns during the last few years. In this regard, variable screw systems are an interesting alternative to conventional systems in precast concrete construction in order to realize the connections at the column shoe required in terms of statics.

Fields of application of the column shoe system

This kind of design transfers the assembly methods of fast and simple screw connections from...
