It is used for renovation and extension purposes in the zones of short connecting rods where the reinforcements do not allow overlapping. Short connecting rods are extended to the distance of overlapping or floor with SOSCOUP coupler and structural continuity is ensured. This system, unlike the gear systems, includes a special lock system based on know-how. Special manufacture bolts and reinforcements butt in this system, the cap is tightened till it broke off and assembly is completed.

System Details:

The body of the Soscoup is made of high-quality steel and mounted on the reinforcement bars with bolts. By screwing the bolts into rebar couplers, it provides mechanical locking between the special body in the couplers and the reinforcement bar, and the inner wall of the couplers.

Fields of Application

The best reinforcement and repair projects are columns, beams, walls, tanks, car parks, highway bridges, nuclear power plants, diaphragm walls, and so on.

Standards

Soscoup performs full mechanical junction in tension or compression as required. ACI 318, BS8110, ISO 15835 S -1 / S -2, TS500. It meets ACI 318 Section 21 and international earthquake and structure codes at Type 2 joints.

Traceability

Codes are imprinted on the couplers in accordance with ADTO Quality Assurance Program. These codes allow tracking of couplers by their original steel and production details.

Epoxy-coated steel irons conforming Epoxy & Zinc Coating ̶ AST A 775 / A 775M can be inserted using epoxy-coated couplers without protecting or removing the epoxy coating from the reinforcement. Zinc (galvanized) rebars can be inserted by means of galvanized couplers. Epoxy-coated or galvanized couplers are available upon request. Unless specified, all Soscoup couplers will be delivered uncoated as standard.
