INCON ICT – BAR TERMINATOR

INCON bar terminators (end anchors) are used in lieu of bent bars to achieve the required bond between concrete and the embedded reinforcement in all structural members.

SUBCATEGORY 1: ICT-F WITH ICS MALE COUPLER

Anchorage is achieved by screwing the ICS coupler onto the bar terminator.

SUBCATEGORY 2: ICT-B WITH ICS FEMALE COUPLER

Anchorage is achieved by screwing the bar terminator onto the ICS coupler.

IBT END ANCHORS – BAR TERMINATOR

Anchorage is achieved by screwing the threaded bar onto the bar terminator.

Technology for All Bar Terminators

INCON 3RD GENERATION SWAGING MACHINE

At INCON, we developed our high-tech third generation swaging machine which accelerates the workflow while enhancing the quality of the product. .

Simplicity and outstanding performance are key features of our swaging machines. They provide an immense 1000 T pressing force that reduces the swaging time of a 40 mm bar coupler to less than 15 seconds. The fully digital controlled system, touch screen, flexible die changing and laser metering technique make the construction process fast and accurate. It can operate efficiently under all weather conditions either on site or in workshops. The swaging mechanism does not require special preparation of the steel bars and does not alter their original mechanical properties. Using INCON swaging machine at site is the optimum way for our clients to overcome construction obstacles effectively, eliminate undesired labor and material costs, and enhance the integrity and performance of the structural system.

EFFICIENT INSTALLATION PROCESS

Swaging is a cold working manufacturing process that involves exerting a considerably large compressive force around the object’s circumference to alter its geometry. .

The process is performed by compressing the coupler around the profile of the steel bar to create a secured and strong mechanical interlock.

BEFORE COUPLER SWAGING

INCON couplers are engineered and manufactured to exceed the requirements of the strictest standards worldwide. The chemical composition and physical properties of our couplers are carefully examined to ensure that they maintain their strength, durability and high performance during and after the swaging process.

DURING COUPLER SWAGING

The coupler sleeve is swaged against the embedded steel bar by applying a radial compressive force on the outer surface. The external surface of the coupler takes the shape of the confining dies; whereas the internal surface becomes in full contact with the steel bar regardless of its grade or deformation pattern.

AFTER COUPLER SWAGING

The external surface of the coupler takes the shape of the confining dies; whereas the internal surface becomes in full contact with the steel bar regardless of its grade or deformation pattern. The load transfer mechanism between the steel bar and the coupler sleeve ensures that they act as one entity.

Typical Applications

FLOOR COLUMN TO BEAM CONNECTIONS

floor-column-to-beam-connections
INCON ICT Bar Terminators provide the required anchorage strength for the reinforcement in typical beam to column connections.
floor-column-to-beam-connections
INCON ICP Position Couplers are the optimum solution for maintaining reinforcement continuity when all bars are restrained against rotational movement.

ROOF COLUMN TO BEAM CONNECTIONS

INCON ICT Bar Terminators can be used in lieu of bent bars in beam-column connections to provide the required anchorage with concrete.
INCON ICP Position Couplers are widely used to connect two steel cages in columns simultaneously.

SLAB TO WALL CONNECTION

slab-to-wall-connection
INCON ICT Bar Terminators are commonly used in slab to wall connections to provide the required anchorage of the steel reinforcement instead of bent bars or hooked bars.
INCON ICS standard couplers are considered as the first alternative to connect the reinforcement of shear wall with that of the slab. In case steel bars are restrained against rotational movement, then INCON ICP position couplers are the best choice.

SLAB TO CORE CONNECTION

Notice that the connection between the old concrete and the new concrete is achieved using INCON ICS Standard couplers and INCON ICT Bar Terminators. In case steel bars are restrained against rotational movement, then INCON ICP position couplers become handy.
INCON ICS Standard Couplers and INCON ICT Bar Terminators are the optimum solution to create reinforcement continuity between the existing steel reinforcement in the wall and the added bars in the slab.

COLUMN TO FOOTING CONNECTION

INCON ICT Bar Terminators are ideal in footings and pile caps to eliminate the undesirable reinforcement congestion and to facilitate concrete casting in such critical areas.
column-to-footing-connection
INCON ICP Position Couplers are very common in columns to footing and columns to pile cap connections. They facilitate the process of connecting two steel cages simultaneously.

PILES AND PILE CAPS

INCON ICT Bar Terminators are used as a replacement of bent or hooked bars in pile to pile cap connections to reduce reinforcement congestion and accelerate construction flow.
piles-and-pile-caps
INCON ICP Position Couplers are used extensively in construction of piles where two steel cages can be first assembled on site and then erected simultaneously at the intended location.

STEEL COLUMNS TO RC BEAMS
