TIMBER-TO-CONCRETE JOINT SYSTEM

The VGS, VGZ and RTR full-thread connectors are now certified for any type of application where a timber element (wall, ceiling, etc.) must transmit stresses to a concrete element (bracing core, foundation, etc.).

The concrete prefabrication combines with timber prefabrication: the reinforcing bars inserted into the concrete casting accommodate the full thread timber connectors; the supplementary casting carried out after installing the timber components completes the connection.

It allows connections between CLT panels with exceptional strength and stiffness for shear, bending moment and axial stress: an example is its use with SPIDER and PILLAR.
