MBT Rebar Couplers are a highly efficient solution for connecting reinforcing bars without threading, welding, or specialized equipment. These couplers provide a robust mechanical connection using a series of bolts to lock the rebar in place. The installation process is straightforward, requiring only simple hand tools, significantly reducing labor time and costs.
Suitable for a wide range of applications, including new construction, repair, and retrofit projects, MBT Rebar Couplers ensure a high level of structural integrity. They effectively transfer both tensile and compressive forces, making them a versatile choice for various construction needs.
The MBT rebar coupler, typically featuring 6 to 8 bolts on the top, is particularly suitable for raft foundations. A raft foundation is a large concrete slab designed to support multiple columns and walls by distributing the building’s weight over a broad surface area. This type of foundation is ideal in areas with low soil bearing capacity, such as soft clay.
The coupler has been tested and proven to comply with the following international design codes: BS EN 1992-1-1: 2004 (Eurocode 2), BS 5400, BS 8110, ACI 318, and DIN 1045 (German code).
