Sandwich Panel Anchors

Product catalog summary
General Overview:
HALFEN provides three types of sandwich panel anchors: SP-SPA, SP-FA, and SP-MVA. These anchors connect the facing and load-bearing layers of sandwich elements, offering benefits such as quick assembly, safety through building authority approvals, and sustainability with corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
Software and Design:
HALFEN's software aids in calculating and selecting appropriate anchor types. It features an interactive GUI, efficient input for slab geometry, and design calculations for restraint ties and supporting anchors, considering actual wind loads and thermal bridging effects.
Anchor Systems:
Supporting anchors manage vertical loads from the facing layer's dead load and account for eccentric and horizontal loads. Torsion anchors handle eccentric forces, while horizontal anchors manage forces from panel rotation and wind. Restraint ties address vertical forces from temperature deformation and wind.
Anchor Calculation:
Load capacities are calculated with partial safety factors. Vertical loads include the facing layer's dead weight and additional loads. Wind loads are calculated per DIN EN 1991-1-4/NA Germany, considering building height and wind zones.
Available Anchors:
Various anchor types are available with different heights, diameters, and lengths. Sleeve anchors (MVA) and flat anchors (FA) are used in different systems, identified by material thickness and dimensions. Sandwich panel anchors (SPA) are V-shaped and used in SPA-SPA systems.
Assembly and Installation:
Guidelines are provided for placing anchors in both face-down and face-up production processes, including the placement of pins, ties, and heat insulation layers.
Additional Products:
Other products for sandwich panels include transport anchors (TPA/KKT) and precast panel connectors (HVL).
Anchor Types:
Restraint ties include connector pins (SPA-N), clip-on pins (SPA-A), and stirrup ties (SPA-B). Sleeve anchors (MVA) and flat anchors (FA) are used for calculating load actions, considering factors like dead weight, wind pressure, and temperature.
Material and Reinforcement:
All anchors are made from stainless steel A4. Concrete grade for facing and load-bearing slabs should be ≥ C 30/37. Reinforcement includes steel mesh B500A, B500B, and ribbed reinforcing bars.
Anchor Calculation:
Calculations require input values such as anchor type, insulation thickness, and facing layer thickness. Minimum embedding depths and anchor heights are determined based on these inputs.
Load-Bearing Capacities:
Tables and diagrams provide load-bearing strengths for different anchor types and configurations. Example calculations demonstrate the process for determining vertical load-bearing capacities.
Supporting Systems:
Guidelines for placing supporting, torsion, and horizontal anchors are provided, emphasizing the importance of positioning relative to the fulcrum and grid nodes.
Fulcrum Considerations:
The fulcrum is a critical point in the facing layer from which the slab can expand freely, reducing restraint forces and minimizing cracks.
Installation Guidelines for Panels with Minimal Widths:
For panels with minimal widths, it is recommended to use SP-FA as a supporting anchor and SP-SPA as a horizontal anchor. Restraint ties should be arranged in pairs or staggered.
Handling Large Overhangs and Overlaps:
Facing layers with large overhangs experience high stresses due to wind loads. It is advised to space two restraint ties per grid point at about 20 cm centers to manage these forces.
Supporting Systems for Various Panel Configurations:
Different supporting systems are detailed for various panel configurations, including rectangular panels, panels with door or window openings, and panels with minimal widths.
Assembly and Installation Procedures:
Detailed procedures for placing anchors using both negative and positive processes are outlined, including instructions for placing sleeve anchors, flat anchors, and supporting anchors.
Structural and Environmental Considerations:
Sandwich panels are composed of a facing layer, insulation layer, and load-bearing layer. The HALFEN Sandwich panel anchor system connects these layers, transferring stresses while allowing for expansion and contraction.
Production Processes:
The production process involves placing reinforcement in prepared molds, installing anchors, pouring concrete, and compacting it. The insulation layer must be pressed tightly against the anchors.
Introduction:
This document provides detailed technical guidelines for the production and installation of sandwich panels using HALFEN Sandwich Panel Anchors.
Specifications and Materials:
The document emphasizes the importance of using separating foil between layers to prevent concrete slurry from entering insulation joints.
Production Methods:
Two primary production methods are outlined: face-down and face-up. Each method has specific instructions for installing reinforcement and connector pins.
Deformation and Warping:
Warping in sandwich panels can occur due to shrinkage and temperature differences. The document advises on using concrete technology to minimize shrinkage.
Geometric Boundary Conditions:
Guidelines are provided for the geometric design of panels, including minimum thickness requirements and reinforcement specifications.
Handling and Installation:
HALFEN provides specialized lifting anchors for transporting sandwich panels, ensuring safe and efficient handling.
Additional Products:
HALFEN offers additional products such as the HVL precast panel connector and the HBJ Betojuster for precise alignment and adjustment of wall elements.
Conclusion:
The document concludes with notes on the importance of adhering to technical guidelines and standards to ensure the quality and performance of sandwich panels.
