Punching Shear Resistor (PSR) Application;

PSR Flyer (Printable)

Tru-Weld punching shear resistor (PSR)studs are large-headed shear connectors that are welded to flat steel bars (creating stud rails), and used in shear reinforcement in flat concrete slabsto replace stirrups and column capitals to resist the punching shear stress in the slabs.

Studs of a predetermined length and diameter, according to design specifications in compliance with IBC and UBC Structural Steel Welding Standards, are used to extend the column perimeter into the floor or foundation slab.This reduces the amount of reinforcing bar required in an area and column congestion, resulting in easier and faster installation, as well as a lower cost.

Using these PSR stud rails, you increase the punching shear capacity at the base of the concrete columns, resulting in a significant reduction in slab thickness. This creates a substantial savings in labor and material costs.



TRU-WELD TRU-TRACE Advantage
    Benefits of using PSR stud rails;
  • Eliminates the need for column capitals and stirrups.
  • Reduction of setup and installation time.
  • Reduction of congestion around column/slab connections.
  • Distribution of force over a greater critical area.
  • Providing higher tensile strength and more ductile performance of the concrete slab.
  • TRU-WELD PSR Studs have heat codes stamped on the head that allow traceability to the specific Mill Certification of the stud.
  • This expands TRU-WELD’s Quality Control Program to trace all PSR Studs up to the point they are poured in concrete!
