STABOX standby boxes are used in concrete structures when continuous reinforcements are required, and for reasons of use, these reinforcements cannot be implemented in a single stage. The box can simply be placed on the formwork. After concreting, the cover can be removed easily and the bars contained in the unfolded boxes. (for 6/8/10/12 mm bars)
Stabox standby boxes are delivered made to measure to the worksite and can hence be used directly. The STABOX is made of steel bars, unfoldable once, contained in a rigid steel box closed by a cover in composite material and two polystyrene removable plugs. Its exclusive dovetail profile secures anchoring in first stage concrete. The set allows fast and effective linking between the elements.
The STABOX withstands heavy loads thanks to its well-studied profile. Tests have been carried out for boxes without callipers in C25/30 class concrete. The breakage observed is still visible in the concrete; no loosening of the box.
The results can never be used to reduce the steel cross-section, but they enable the oversizing of the steel reinforcement on the worksite to be avoided, to compensate for uncertainties.
