Stud Rail is a double-headed stud anchor (DSA) reinforcement system, typically used for concrete deck-to-column connections. The system is designed to transfer the load further into the concrete deck, create a larger shear area around the column, and resist punching shear forces. stud rails should be placed a minimum of 2” (50mm) from any free edge. Intermediate stud rails should be spaced equally on edges requiring more than two stud rails.
The rails are tied to spacers before being located around the column and nailed to the formwork. The loads on a concrete slab supported on a concrete column induce shear stresses in the slab. Where additional reinforcement is not provided, this stress could result in the column ‘punching’ through the slab.
Studs are always 1.5 inches wide. Their depth can be 3.5, 5.5, or even 7.5 inches depending on the wall. Wall studs are made with “2 by” lumber, meaning either a 2×4 (most common), 2×6, or even in some rare cases, 2×8. When a home is framed, the wall studs are usually spaced 16 or 24 inches apart. If you start in a corner and measure out 16 inches and you don’t find a stud, you should find one at 24 inches.
As mentioned above Stud Rails are needed in construction to reinforce a flat slab against punching shear and are located around a column head or base. Stud Rails design system consists of a number of stud and rail units and each unit consists of double-headed studs, hot forged to three times the diameter of the bar which is welded to a flat steel carrier rail. In the required layout, the rails are located around the column.
We as Stud rail manufacturers use calculation software to determine the quantity and dimensions of both studs and rails, the layout and spacing. The rails make sure of stud alignment, spacing and vertical positioning within the slab. The studs are manufactured in various diameters and length to be suitable for the load and depth of the slab.
A stud rail system can be designed for column shapes like rectangular, circular, L-shaped, etc. Stud rails design can be designed for locations like edge, corner, interior, etc. and based on user desire the system can be installed either top-down or bottom up. When they are installed top down, the studs are installed after all other reinforcement.
The rail is securely tied in the position and it rests on the top layer of reinforcement. When they are installed bottom-up, the studs are installed before all other reinforcement. The rails are tied to spacers before they are located around the column and nailed to the formwork.
