Stainless steel A4:
Chromium is the most important alloying element in

stainless steel. A specific chromium concentration
ensures the generation of a passive layer on the
surface of the steel that protects the base material
against corrosion. This explains the high corrosion
resistance of stainless steel.

HALFEN channels entirely of stainless steel (A4)

The HALFEN cast-in channels "entirely of stainless steel" are
not restricted to any concrete cover since no part of them can
corrode.
Range of applications:
Bridge and tunnel construction (e.g. fastening of pipelines)
Construction of sewage treatment plants (fastening of
spillover weirs
Chemical industry (mountings exposed to aggressive
substances)
Ventilated faades, e.g. masonry veneer
For all structural reinforced concrete elements requiring
larger concrete covers
The HALFEN cast-in channels consisting of a high corrosion

resistance (HCR) material are a must in cases of high
concentrations of chlorides, sulphur and nitrogen oxides.

Dependable assembly with HALFEN cast-in channels
HALFEN bolts can be inserted anywhere in the channel

slot, then turned 90 and locked in place by tightening
the nut. Do not position bolts at the channel ends past
the last anchor (= 25 mm from the end of the channel).
On channels with bolt anchors, the anchor locations can
be seen through the channel slot.

Haropor fu l l fo a m f i l l er: Use a suitable tool (such as a

carpenters hammer).
Test
Positional marking at the tip of the shank of the HALFEN
bolts: After the installation, verify the proper alignment of
the bolts via the marking slot at the tip of the shank. The
slot must be oriented at a right angle to the longitudinal
axis of the channel.

HZA profiles:
Adjustable
The toothing causes positive interlocking and ensures load
transfer in the lengthwise direction of the channel,
eliminating any risk of slippage.
Lock set
The bolt heads must sit flush on both flanks of the
anchoring channel and locked in place by tightening the
nut with the torque wrench. Observe the torque values
shown in the table on the bottom of page 31.

Preliminary note on Dimensioning
HTA / HZA channels
According to the new standards (e.g. EC2, DIN 1045-1,

EC3, DIN 18800-1) the normal loads (working loads) are
multiplied by the partial safety factor F and the normal load
capacity is divided by the partial safety factor M, yielding
the respective ratings identified by the index "d" (design).
The tables following this chapter show the design resistances

FRd.
The term "design value" represents the current standards
based on their new safety concepts and must be strictly
differentiated from the previous definition of "allowable
value".

Following the adoption of DIN 1045 -1 : 2008-08, the recent

anchor channel approvals have also taken the new safety
concept into account.
As a result, the load capacity rating for channel and screw is
as follows:
To date, the verification process has not concurrently

become established in all industries. In the areas where the
"working load" is the basis, it is still the material on which the
admissible load per anchor channel certification is based. This
is the case for instance in machine and crane engineering,
which, inter alia, still go by global safety concepts. In these
cases the following conversion rule applies to the load
capacity values shown in the tables: (Exception: dynamic
loads page 22) :

The parenthesized dimensions apply if act. ar 2 x adm. a r.

Minimum component width b = 2 x a r applies in single channel conf.
Determined by channel height, length of anchor and necessary
concrete cover c per DIN 1045 -1.
Parenthesized anchor lengths for HTA 38/17 and 28/15 apply only to
non-standard profiles with weld-on anchors.
Admissible only for centric tensile stress, and for HZA 41/22 also if
exposed to stress in the longitudinal direction of the channel.
In cases of transverse and inclined tensile load the distance from the
edge of the unstressed component may be reduced to ar red.= 0,5 x a r or
50 mm if, analogous to the figure on see page 24, an anchor
reinforcement is provided.
In cases of inclined tensile load 45 and transverse tensile stress per
pendicular to the edge spacings of 75 to 100 mm an anchor
reinforcement is required see page 24.

HTA / HZA channels
Shock resistance with partial safety factor = 1,0

The following conditions must be met:
Minimum component dimensions, axial spacing and edge
distance per official approval ( page 23) must be observed.
For practical applications (normal operating and working
loads, static loads) the load values specified in the DIBt
certifications apply. Accordingly, static load components in
the longitudinal channel axis of HTA profiles are not
admissible. Instead, HZA channels must be selected.
When used for instance in shelter construction, HALFEN

cast-in channels provide added protection for the
shock-resistant mounting of built-in components.

Regulatory requirements
Balconies are a part of the structural
system. "They must be designed,
constructed, modified and maintained
in such fashion that public safety or
order and especially life, health or the
natural fundamentals of life are not
jeopardized". (MBO 07 and implementation directives)
A regulatory requirement as part

of regional building codes refers to
structural stability: "Every structure as a
whole and in its individual components
must be stably self-supporting". This
stability must be statically verifiable on
the basis of technical standards (here
DIN 1055 Part 3+4).
In this context, the technical rules

established by public announcement
as regulatory building codes must be
observed.
Technical rules specify load parameters, the calculation, dimensioning of
structural products, construction types,
structural layouts etc..
Another regulatory requirement

addresses traffic safety, for example:
Balconies and loggias must have
fall-preventing safety banisters when
they border on an area that lies more
than 1 meter below. Up to a drop
height of 12m the minimum banister
height is 0.90m from the top surface
of the finished floor or accessible

ledge. For drop heights greater than
12m (except as per German LBOs)
the banister must be 1.10m heigh.
Other regulations, not covered here,
address the design, dimensioning,
banister spacing, fire protection,
thermal/sound insulation, and
rainwater drainage.

B, 4.3, requires the contractor to report to the customer, in writing, any obvious design flaws, which he, as the expert, must be able to recognize. He alone is
responsible for any resulting defect and consequential expenses. If he has satisfied
his reporting obligation, the responsibility for the defect (such as a frontal banister
attachment into too thin a concrete slab) passes to the customer.

Rail height hb
The minimum height hb of a banister is 0.90 m from the top edge of

the finished floor or accessible ledge to the upper edge of the banister/
balustrade. In the case of drop heights of more than 12.0 m (except as
specified in the applicable regional building code (LBO)), the banister
must be 1.10 m high.

The structural design of the banister must take all fundamental requirements
into account. As a general rule, all banisters must be built in a way that a
person cannot fall through them, for instance between rods, lattice bars or
solid infill.
They should also be designed so as not to entice but instead to discourage
anyone from climbing over them.
The specific requirements for a banister are determined by the intended use
(private, public, commercial) and the drop height involved.
Also to be observed are the building codes of the individual federal states,
the ETB Directive Fall Protection Components and DIN 18065 (Stairs in
Buildings definition,rules, key measurements).
HGB channels
b = clear distance between back of the veneer and

the front face of the balcony slab or gutter /
kick plate
Roof and Wall
The thickness of the balcony slab must be at least h = (120) mm

when the HGB is mounted on the front face. Other mounting types
and systems require a thicker slab.
All concrete-embedded mounts installed outdoors (e.g. on balconies)
must consist of stainless steel.
An attachment with anchor channels or dowel systems requires

concrete at least of grade C 20/25. If the concrete is of less than a
grade C 20/25 or it is unknown, a case-by-case decision must be
made.

Installation, Assembly
Installation
The pre-finished channel type HTU is to be embedded in the
concrete parts flush with the surface edge. It is advisable to
level the concrete surface and to apply a slight slope to the
outer edge of the concrete. This is to ensure that the trapezoidal sheet metal rests only on the HTU channel. If, on the
other hand, the manufacturer of the trapezoidal sheet metal
requires a total support width of more than
60 mm, this can be achieved through a flush channel installation and a flat concrete surface. A horizontal placement,
properly aligned, and centred in the case of trusses of prestressed concrete, is to be ensured. Maintaining a
20 mm butt joint gap between the individual channel ends is
recommended.

Assembly (with self-tapping screw)

The self-tapping screw is placed on the screw driver and is
fastened in one step without predrilling a pilot hole. Even
the 4-fold overlapping at joints does not pose a problem
with the self-tapping screw.
Use power screw drivers with approx. 1500 rpm and with
a socket wrench, size 10.
Suitable tools for the respective screws can be obtained
from the screw supplier.
The trapezoidal sheet metal must be attached in the central
third of the channel back; The screw must be positioned at
a minimum distance of 25 mm from the channel ends.

The maximum normal rafter strength is limited by the dimensioning

of the individual rafter shoe parts. Load tests showed an average
breaking load of 50 kN. With normal strengths that are greater than
the recommended load capacity (= about 1/3 of the breaking load),
the rafter spacing may need to be reduced, if required.
The minimum edge distance ar of the HALFEN cast-in channels can
be reduced with lower loads, see table page 23. The distance to the
outer concrete edge must be at least 170 mm.
It must be ensured that the HALFEN cast-in channels are installed

facings (with and without air gap and/
or heat insulation) using HALFEN brick
tie anchors ML or BL to concrete walls
and concrete supports or to steel and

wooden structures. Due to the moveability of the brich tie anchors in the brick tie
channels, the risk of masonry settlement
cracksis reduced considerably.

All HTA and HMS profiles have a

Haropor foam filling for protection
against concrete infiltration. The channels
are attached to the formwork using nails.
When erecting the brick wall, the HALFEN brick tie anchors are inserted in the
brick tie channels at any desired location
or at recommended distances and after
a 90 rotation pushed into the grouting
space mortar for anchoring.

Brick tie anchor ( see page 54)
HALFEN brick tie anchors can be used at any desired

position across the total length of the brick tie channel.
As a rule, anchor spacing is 250 mm (4 anchors per
meter).
Note:
HALFEN cast-in channels HTA and HZA Dynagrip along with
HALFEN bolts are allowed for use in fire-exposed components. The permissible loads for the HALFEN channels are
determined based on the bolt dimensions for a fire resistance
rating of 60 minutes (F60) and 90 minutes (F90) according
to technical approval. (see Certification Z-21.4-34 for
HALFEN cast-in channels HTA and Certification Z-21.4-1691
for HALFEN cast-in channels HZA Dynagrip).

Advantages:
The 92 angle ensures a tight fit to the formwork. Thus,
connection with the concrete is achieved and leakage of
concrete slurry between the formwork and the corner
profile is avoided.
The U-shaped concrete-reinforced anchors do not interfere
with the corner reinforcement and facilitate the assembly
of the reinforcement cage.
The concrete-reinforced anchors guarantee optimal
anchoring.

HALFEN bolts
HALFEN Curtain wall system
This principle of construction is

characterized by an outer wall with a
continuous outer skin (see Fig. 1)
The curtain wall faade is to protect
the interior of a building from external,
undesirable environmental influences
and yet, if desired, permit eye-contact
with the outside through structural
components that can be opened and/
or are transparent. Specifically, this
means sufficient stability against wind

loads as well as enough insulating
ability against frost in winter, the heat
in summer as well as against external
noise pollution.
In addition, certain requirements must
be met in the event of a fire and other
disaster.

The post and beam faade and the modular faade.
In principle, one distinguishes between

two construction methods of curtain
wall faades: the post and beam
faade and the modular faade.
One basic differentiating characteristic
is the way the expansions within the
faade are taken up. The first possibility, known by the term post and beam
faade (see Figure 2) is that the vertical and horizontal frame profiles are
lined up in a straight line in practical
production lengths, e.g., floor-to-ceiling
and segment--wide. They are installed
such that their longitudinal and transverse ends are kept slightly shorter,
thus leaving room for a gap corresponding to the necessary expansion. The
longitudinal and transverse connections are constructed in a moveable
fashion. The filler element (glass or
panel) installed in this post and beam
structure floats so-to-speak, and allows
for an expansion within the scope of
the installation clearance that was left
open. The glass and filler elements
are delivered separately and are not
installed until they are at the construction site, necessitating construction site
scaffolding. With the second construc-
62
Fig. 2
tion method, the modular faade, (see

Figure 3), the faade is made of elements prefabricated in the workshop,
with glass, natural stone and panels
already integrated. For taking up the
expansions, the faade profiles are individually telescoped into one another in
mazelike fashion.
This method of construction allows
Fig. 3
the faade contractor to begin with

the interior work on the respective
floor immediately after hanging a
completely prefabricated module, since
a driving-rain protection is ensured.
In general, scaffolding is not required
with this method of construction.

The following average ultimate loads were determined from three

tests:
FRes.
Load deformation diagram
= 142.3 kN
FN ultimate
= 47.4 kN
= 150.0 kN
Load Fres.
The adjacent load deformation diagram may be used to determine

allowable loads based on acceptable displacement and the required
safety factor according to local building codes. The diagram is based
on the following:
Tensile and transverse loads were increased at a ratio of 1:3 up to
the breaking point.
Concrete slab thickness 125 mm and reinforcement as shown on
previous slab.
Concrete strength class C 20/25 N/mm.
The load is transferred into the channel via two HALFEN bolts HS
50/30 M20 Grade 8.8. The bolt spacing is 150 mm. A sample
calculation is shown below. The safety factor is chosen arbitrarily.
However, the actual factors to be used must be analyzed based on
general project-specic conditions or building regulations in eect.

Edge of Slab Brackets HCW-ED
Application example
HALFEN Edge of slab brackets are connected in pairs to either side of the mullion and are available in two types:
Type HCW-ED brackets are designed to support both
vertical and horizontal loads.
Type HCW-EW brackets are designed to support
horizontal wind loads only.

HALFEN bolts
The brackets ensure a convenient adjustability of the attachment.

The HALFEN bolts (fastening of the bracket to the
HALFEN cast-in channel) and the regular hexagonal bolts
M12,(fastening of the bracket to the faade pillar) should be
of the strength grade 8.8.
A round auxiliary hole in the long leg of the brackets serves
the temporary attachment - e.g. by means of self-tapping
screws to the pillar- until the actual connection is established.
