Exmet’s SSK Wall Shoes play a pivotal role in establishing tension connections between walls and foundations, or between two walls. These wall shoes are extensively utilized to create bolted connections between walls and foundations or between walls themselves.
The connection process involves casting the wall shoe within the precast wall and embedding the anchor bolt within the wall or foundation below. A nut and a rectangular non-centric washer secure the anchor bolt to the wall shoe. During erection, shims can be used to ensure accurate wall leveling. Subsequently, the joint formed between two walls, or between a wall and its foundation, along with the cavity created by the wall shoe, is grouted.
SSK Wall Shoes excel in connections requiring substantial load-bearing capabilities. They can be acquired with plain or hot-dip galvanized surface coatings as per specific requests.
Among various benefits, the key advantages of using Exmet’s SSK Wall Shoes include:
- Effortless connection through bolting concrete members
- Rapid and straightforward wall erection process
- Immediate transmission of tensile forces upon wall erection and bolting
- Contributes to streamlined floor cycles.
