| A reliable, economical alternative to hooked rebar anchorage  The Lenton® Terminator from ERICO® is an oversized half coupler that secures to the end of reinforcing steel and efficiently replaces conventional hooked rebar. It reduces congestion, thereby facilitating easier rebar placement and lower placing costs. It also permits rebar to be added without increasing the size of the component embedded in the concrete, thus facilitating future expansion. Lenton Terminator - based on the Shear Cone Theory (on which ACI-355 is based) - is a proven solution for contractors and design engineers who need a simple, reliable and economical alternative to hooked rebar anchorage.This reliable mechanical system minimizes embedment length and allows for faster installations, which reduces labor costs. It also simplifies bar placement, reduces rebar congestion by 60%, and provides greater design flexibility. Lenton Terminators for ASTM A615 grade 60 and A706 rebar are ICC-ES (ICBO) recognized (#3967) and meet or exceed the ACI 318-05, UBC and IBC-03 full-tension splice requirements for Type 1 and Type 2 splices and mechanical anchorages. The Lenton Terminator also meets other worldwide codes including DIN1045 and BS8110 and can be used with virtually with any type of reinforcing bar available in the world. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
