APK®-C Column Shoe
The APK®-C column shoe ensures robust foundation connections for industrial concrete frames and buildings. Designed for heavy loads and bending moments, it complies with SFS-EN 1090-2:2018 standards. Easy installation and A-COLUMN® software streamline design. Use with ALP®-C bolts for optimal performance in rectangular column connections.
APK®-C column shoes are used in the heavy-duty foundation connections of industrial concrete element frames, in the corners of rectangular columns. The shoes are also suitable for connecting heavy-duty concrete element frames to foundations in office, commercial and public buildings. The APK®-C column shoe is manufactured in accordance with the SFS-EN 1090-2:2018 standard.
The connection consists of a prefabricated shoe that is installed in the element formwork before casting. The column shoe connection is in working order when its grouting concrete has reached the design strength. The shoes are suitable for connections where the proportion of bending moment is dominant in the loads. APK®-C middle shoes are used in the middle of the sides of rectangular columns. The bolts used for the shoes are ALP®-C anchor bolts. Shoe connection design is made easy and fast with A-COLUMN® design software.
