Poutre Classe 4 Courses

Poutres Classe 4 are reinforced concrete beams which are designed specifically for reinforced concrete bridges and structures. These beams have multiple reinforcing layers embedded in the concrete matrix and are designed to provide improved durability, strength and vibration resistance. The beams are designed to withstand a variety of dynamic and static loading conditions, including fatigue, shear, bending, and torsion, ensuring that bridges and structures built with Poutres Classe 4 perform better when subjected to external forces or conditions. Poutres Classe 4 beams are manufactured utilizing high-quality materials such as fine aggregate, high-strength reinforcing steel, C20/C25 concrete, and secondary reinforcement. These components create a stronger, more durable bond between the different layers that helps to ensure the beam’s long-term viability. The design of the beam also minimizes shrinkage and the effects of corrosion. The use of Poutres Classe 4 beams allows engineers to design bridges and other structures that are more reliable and require less maintenance. The beams are designed to be compatible with standard systems – such as slab bridges – thus avoiding the need for special design considerations. Depending on the height and span of the structure, the beams can be supplied in lengths as long as 16.25 meters. All Poutres Classe 4 beams are certified by the REGAL LAB, ensuring that they adhere to the highest standards of quality and safety. The products meet the requirements of the French Standard AS 2458-2 and are designed to provide a strong and durable solution for bridge superstructure and guaranteeing the performance of the structure for its intended use.
