INSTALLATION
Seam Thickness (b)
Design Value of Tensile Indented joint dimensions used in calculations
Box Type Part No Resistance, FRd (kN) The size of the wire rope loops must be chosen for transversal shear force
according to the thickness of the joint to enable the

vertical ribbed steel bar in the joint to pass through
CFS-RVL-60 the wire rope loops on both side of the joint.

The resistance is defined by the weakest concrete
in the system, either to fill the joint or the concrete CFS-RVL-120 140-190
used to make the precast element. The distance

between wire loop boxes must be as defined later
in this section.
