Shear Steel Box | Steel Components That Transfer Shear at Structural Joints
Shear steel boxes are used at structural joints to help transfer shear forces and restrain movement. K.C.F. can manufacture them to your structural drawings and hot-dip galvanize them.
What Is Shear Steel Box?
A shear steel box is a structural member made of steel plates welded into a box shape, usually installed at the joints of bridges or structures to transfer shear forces or restrain relative movement between members. Dimensions and welding details depend on the structural design, so they are usually custom-made to drawings.
A critical detail for structural safety, made precisely to your drawings.
Key Features of Shear Steel Box
Made to the Structural Design
Plate cutting, assembly and welding are carried out according to the structural drawings.
Galvanized Corrosion Protection
Hot-dip galvanizing coats the inner and outer corners of the box with zinc.
Custom OEM Manufacturing to Your Drawings
We can fabricate to drawings and specifications provided by the owner, designer or contractor, and can evaluate both small-lot and volume orders.
One-Stop Service from Fabrication to Galvanizing
Materials, cutting, welding and hot-dip galvanizing are handled together, reducing the time spent on transport and coordination between plants.
Typical Applications of Shear Steel Box
- Bridge bearings and joints
- Elevated road structures
- Steel-to-concrete connections
- Seismic retrofit projects
- Structural connecting members
- Public works steel structures
Why Choose Hot-Dip Galvanizing for Shear Steel Box?
Steel exposed to rain, humidity and air pollution over time rusts easily, and corrosion resistance is the key factor in component durability.
Hot-dip galvanizing immerses steel in molten zinc, so the zinc coating bonds tightly with the steel and fully covers surfaces, edges and holes. Even if the coating is locally damaged, the surrounding zinc corrodes first to protect the steel. For shear steel box, hot-dip galvanizing reduces the need for future rust removal and repainting.
K.C.F. specializes in hot-dip galvanizing, carrying out pretreatment, dipping and inspection in accordance with the relevant standards so every batch of components has consistent coating quality.
