Studrails are double headed, hot forged 500 MPa studs welded to a flat steel strip, which are custom made to suit specific applications. Studrails are an effective and efficient method of reinforcing the concrete in high shear zones around concentrated loads such as column heads, increasing design freedom and flexibility. Studrail solves many contemporary construction problems such as reducing floor-to-floor heights, reduction of column sizes and simplifying reinforcement design. Studrail is available in 12, 16 and 20 mm diameters.
