Upturned

Support system for precast concrete panels resting on beams or floor slabs

The Upturned Bracket is used to support precast concrete panels resting on beams or floor slabs, for example in the case of the upper panels of buildings. The system is also used in configurations where there are no support columns.

It is part of the B.S. Italia family of support systems, together with the Ercole system, and is designed to support precast concrete panels with millimetre adjustments along the three Cartesian axes.

APPLICATIONS OF THE UPTURNED BRACKET SYSTEM

Support of precast concrete panels
The solution is designed to support precast concrete panels in configurations requiring support on beams or floor slabs.

Installation in different structural configurations
The system can be used on precast or cast-in-place structures, in reinforced concrete or metal, adapting to different geometric and construction configurations.

OPERATION OF THE UPTURNED BRACKET SYSTEM

Millimetre adjustment along the three axes
The system allows simultaneous millimetre adjustments along the three Cartesian axes, facilitating the correct positioning of the precast panel during installation phases.

Adaptability to different project geometries
The bracket can be installed in a perpendicular or parallel configuration with respect to the panel to be supported, aligned or not aligned with the structure and with or without distance from the support.

ADVANTAGES OF THE UPTURNED BRACKET SUPPORT SYSTEM

Adjustment precision during installation
Millimetre adjustment allows precise control of the positioning of precast concrete panels.

Application versatility on precast and traditional structures
The system can be applied to vertical, horizontal or cantilevered structures, whether precast or cast-in-place.

Support for the anti-seismic performance of the structure
The solution is designed to contribute to the stability and structural behaviour of the support system.

INSTALLATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE UPTURNED BRACKET SYSTEM

Simplified design
The system is available in pre-calculated and certified variants, ready for use without the need for additional design calculations.

Optimisation of panel production
The absence of protrusions facilitates the formwork operations of panels and precast elements.

Easier transport of precast elements
The absence of protrusions facilitates handling and transfer operations.

Fast dry assembly
The assembly of the components is carried out without welding or bolting, reducing installation times and the need for specialised personnel.
