KSN Anchors
Reinforcement Continuity System
 KSN Anchors
Safer, faster, simpler construction joints
Ancon KSN Anchors, in
combination with BT parallel-
threaded reinforcing bars, offer
designers the opportunity to
simplify concrete slab-to-wall
construction joints, when
compared to traditional methods.
KSN Anchors are cast into the
concrete wall and, when the
formwork and thread protection
are removed, the reinforcing bars
are simply screwed into the
anchors. This is a quicker, easier
and above all, safer solution.
It eliminates the drilling of
formwork or concrete and the
dangers associated with
Traditional slab-to-wall
construction method.

cogged or hooked bar ends,
thereby simplifying bar scheduling
and minimises congestion in the
wall. The rebate formed in the wall
can also improve the quality of the
joint.
In addition to their use in direct
tensile applications, KSN Anchors
have been independently tested in
moment connections where they
provide enhanced performance.
See page 9 for further information.
KSN Anchors may also be suitable
for other applications where a
cast-in threaded insert is required.

Ancon KSN Anchors, in combination with BT parallel-threaded

reinforcing bars, simplify concrete slab-to-wall construction joints
when compared to traditional methods. This quicker, easier and
above all, safer operation, eliminates the need for on-site bar
straightening and the drilling of formwork or concrete. The system
replaces cogged or hooked bar ends, thereby simplifying bar

System Design
Standards require anchorages for bars and
fixings to be designed for both strength and
ductility. Ductile design requires the steel to
fail by plastic yielding before brittle concrete

Notes on the design tables for slab-to-wall moment connections

The load tables on pages 14 to 21 are applicable provided the following conditions are met.
The concrete characteristic pull-out loads are applicable for Ancon KSN anchor range, sizes 12mm to 20mm with anchor effective embedment between 75mm and 260mm.
The structural concrete compressive strength shall be in the range N32/40 to N50/60. The letter N denotes normal weight concrete; the first figure, 32 is the minimum
characteristic cylinder strength/ the second figure, 40 is the minimum characteristic cube strength.
The design tables assume the concrete in which the KSN anchor is embedded is un-cracked. This in general would be the normal case for anchors embedded in walls.
The minimum wall thickness shall be 200mm.
Where other forms of loading give rise to cracks which intersect the failure surface, the design tables may over estimate the load capacity, e.g. seismic.
Whilst the anchors have not been expressly tested under seismic conditions, the behaviour of the connections is essential in good seismic design.
The design tables assume no close edges, see pages 8 and 22.
The design procedure assumes that the top of the wall is at least 3 times the effective embedment of the anchor (heff ) measured from the centre line of the anchor.
Provided the wall/slab connection comprises at least 5 KSN anchors, yS,N , the edge distance reduction factor may be taken as 1.0 where the edge distances are 1.5heff or
where local reinforcement is provided. If these conditions are not met, please contact Ancon for further information.
Analysis of the structure should be based on the assumption of linear elastic behaviour.
Redistribution of elastic bending moments shall only be used if the greater of S Rd,c and S Rd,s 1.25 S Rd,y this restriction is to ensure the anchor has sufficient capacity to
develop strains in excess of those required for yield of the reinforcement.
The shear capacity of the joint must be checked at all times. In tests with continuity bars at the top and bottom zones of the slab, no distress was evident that related to vertical
shear in the plane of the wall, so it is unlikely vertical shear will be a problem. However, should the shear capacity be exceeded, then the designer may consider the use of
debonded shear connectors.
The use of KeyBox metal casings approximately 85mm high x 36mm deep is considered a suitable alternative key. The effective wall depth to be used in the calculation of joint
shear resistance is limited to 175mm or the anchor embedment, whichever is the greater.

Other Ancon Products
Ancon Keybox Continuity System
A standard Ancon Keybox unit comprises pre-bent bars housed within a galvanised steel casing,
enclosed by a protective cover and sealed at each end. Anchorage in the concrete is provided
by the U-shaped bars. After striking the formwork and removing the cover, the bent bars are
straightened using an Ancon re-bending tool, ready for lapping onto the main reinforcement.

Ancon Coupler Box Continuity System

Similar to a Keybox unit, the bent stirrup bars are replaced by BT Couplers. Anchorage in the
concrete is provided by hooked bars installed within one half of the couplers. After striking the
formwork and removing the cover, the other end of the Coupler is revealed to accept a BT
parallel threaded continuation bar, as used in the KSN Anchor system.

Punching Shear Reinforcement

Ancon Shearfix is used in a slab to provide additional reinforcement around columns to
alleviate punching shear. The shear load is transferred through the studs into the column.
Dimensions, spacings and layout are determined by calculation. A free design program is
available from Ancon.

Shear Load Connectors

Ancon DSD and ESD Shear Load Connectors are used to transfer shear across expansion
and contraction joints in concrete. They are more effective at transferring load and allowing
movement to take place than standard dowels. The range features rectangular box section
sleeves to allow lateral movement in addition to longitudinal movement. A range of Lockable
Dowels is available for temporary movement joints in post-tensioned concrete.

Stainless Steel Rebar

A comprehensive range of stainless steel reinforcing bar is available from Ancon.
Stainless steel offers many advantages to the specifier and its use in the Construction Industry
continues to increase. Stainless steel reinforcement ensures a high degree of corrosion
resistance without requiring additional protection.

Reinforcing Bar Couplers

The use of reinforcing bar couplers can provide significant advantages over lapped joints.
Design and construction of the concrete can be simplified and the amount of reinforcement
reduced. The Ancon range includes BT parallel threaded and MBT mechanically bolted
couplers.
