Thermal AVI Thermokorb Insulated Balcony Connection System Ten key benefits - Why to use AVI Balcony Connectors? 1. Reduces heat loss and helps to reduce heating costs and CO2 emissions. 2. Avoids condensation, damp walls, mould formation and structural damage. 3. Reduces sound transmission to the inside of the building. 4. If using the fire protected connector, all four sides are protected, thus complete fire protection provided. 5. Good aesthetic appearance to blend with attached slab. 6. UK assembly option available for quick delivery. 7. High quality due to Group owned steel mill. 8. Simple marking system for easy use on site or in precast factory. 9. Robust units are good for site handling. 10. Installation of units is easy. 15-3 www.cfsfixings.com

Thermal AVI Thermokorb Insulated Balcony Connection System Prevention of thermal bridges is better than cure NIRO Thermokorbs are heat insulating, load-bearing connection elements between structural components made of reinforced concrete. They are used to improve heat insulation of reinforced concrete balconies from their connection into the inside of buildings. Further useful areas of application are: parapet walls and corbels. Introduction The AVI insulated balcony connector consists of a structural framework of independent ribs and an 80 mm thick expanded polystyrene panel (EPS-W according to standard OENORM B 13163). The individual ribs penetrate the EPS panel and, in order to avoid corrosion, they consist of U-shaped stainless steel profiles with stirrups made of ribbed reinforcing steel welded to their ends which transfer the forces from the individual ribs to the subsequent reinforced concrete elements. The system is designed to resist both positive and negative bending moments and shear forces. They consist of a uniform U-shaped stainless steel profile (material no. 1.4571 C 850 according to EN 10088-2). The distance is ensured by 2 ribbed reinforcing steel stirrups of 10 mm diameter each (B 550A according to OENORM B4707) welded to the flanges of upper and lower strut. The individual ribs are produced by means of welding robots with heights of 110 mm, 1 mm, 150 mm and 170 mm. Special elements with rib heights of 190 mm are possible. These sizes can cover slab thicknesses ranging from 160 mm to 250 mm. Cross sectional height of a single rib element Slab thickness (cm) 16.0 18.0 20.0 22.0 Rib height RH (cm) 11.0 13.0 15.0 17.0 Description On account of their multi-axial strength, the AVI insulated balcony connectors are suitable for numerous applications. For the use in slab-type structures with predominately moment and/or shear force loading (Mx, Vy), standard elements of types TKM and TKA with a uniform length of 1.00 m and varying number of ribs (2 to 9 ribs) are provided. For narrow spaces it is also possible to produce elements with 1 to 9 ribs and a uniform spacing of 100 mm, hence the length of element depends on the number of ribs. By connecting two 5-ribs elements with a length of 500 mm each, it is also possible to use 10 ribs per metre. The forces are transferred from the stainless steel profiles to the reinforced concrete through welded ribbed reinforcing steel stirrups of steel grade B550A. The 10 mm bar diameter that is always used corresponds to the load bearing capacity of the stainless steel profiles and at the same time, it determines the connection reinforcement to be provided on construction site. Low deformation and good vibration behaviour is achieved by AVI insulated balcony connectors because the individual ribs have a high moment of inertia. The additional precambers for cantilever slabs can therefore be very small. The load bearing capacity of the ribs depends on the rib height RH. The rib height and slab thickness can be matched according to demand and application. The difference of slab thickness and rib height should not be less than 5 cm in order to ensure sufficient concrete cover. For special fire protection requirements R90 (90 minutes), fire protection panels are glued on the thermal insulating elements. An R120 is possible on demand. In cantilever and terrace balconies slabs, an expansion joint must be provided at least every 7m. THERMOKORB BALCONY CONNECTOR SYSTEM www.cfsfixings.com 15-4

Design Of AVI Insulated Balcony Connectors The design program TK-BEM calculates and specifies the type of AVI insulated balcony connectors for the. The program is available as an Excel spreadsheet (version 2003 or higher) This program calculates the different types of the AVI insulated balcony connectors in all common applications and can take into account moments and forces along all three axes. Download under www.avi.at The AVI insulated balcony connectors are designed on 3 different calculation sheets. These sheets are launched and controlled via a menu file. It is not possible to start the spreadsheets individually. In the menu, the user name can be entered. Furthermore the user has options for how to start a new file and how to close the program. In the start menu, the following spreadsheets can be selected: Balcony connections with types AVI-TKM, AVI-TKF and AVI-TKA V1 and AVI-TKA V2 Parapet wall connections with type AVI-AT/2 or with a transverse single rib (TKA R1) Corbel connections with types AVI-TKM and AVI-TKA. 15-13 www.cfsfixings.com
