Technical Manual
The COPRA Anchoring Coupler is a rebar anchor with female threads for bolted connections in precast concrete
structures. COPRA is mainly used in foundation-to-column and column-to-beam connections in combination with
HPKM / PEC Column Shoes or BECO Beam Shoes.
COPRA Anchoring Couplers transfer tensile, compression, and shear forces through the connection during erection
and in the nal stage. COPRA can be adapted to all types of concrete structure.
Hidden COPRA Anchoring Couplers with removable threaded bars avoid the risk of protruding parts being damaged
during construction. The joint between the two precast concrete parts is grouted to nalize the connection.

PRODUCT PROPERTIES
COPRA Anchoring Couplers are used for connecting structural and non-structural elements to concrete loadbearing structures. Anchoring couplers consist of a removable threaded bar, which is installed on the building site,
and an anchored coupler. The coupler is cast into base structure and anchored via one or more anchor bars.
COPRA Anchoring Couplers are available in various standard or semi-standard models that are suitable for different
applications.

model.

Structural behavior
COPRA Anchoring Couplers are connecting elements that carry tensile, compression, and shear forces and transfer
them into the base structure. Typically, the anchoring couplers are used to create moment-resistant connections.
Forces can be transformed at precast beam-to-column or column-to-foundation connections. Other applications
are also possible.
The load transfer mechanisms of the COPRA Anchoring Coupler under different types of connections are shown in
Figures 4, 5, and 6.

Application conditions
The standard models of COPRA P Anchoring Couplers with straight bars are pre-designed for use under the
conditions mentioned in this section.
The anchorage part of the COPRA L and COPRA D models must be designed on a project basis.
The COPRA L Anchoring Coupler is a semi-standard model. The geometry of the concrete element must be taken
into account to design the proper length of the headed anchor bars. Design should follow the requirements of
standards EN 1992-1-1 or CEN/TS 1992-4-2.
The double-sided COPRA Anchoring Coupler is a semi-standard model with pre-designed parts. The length of the
double-sided anchoring coupler must be based on the geometry of the concrete member.
See the section entitled Selecting a COPRA Anchoring Coupler for further details. If this condition may not be
satised, please contact Peikkos Customer Engineering Service.
Note: COPRA Anchoring Couplers must not be used as rebar couplers for reinforcement. Rebar Couplers from the
Peikko product portfolio can be used to connect to the rebar.
1.2.1
COPRA Anchoring Couplers are designed to transfer static loads. To ensure resistance to corrosion, the concrete
cover of the anchoring coupler, including washers and nuts, must observe the minimum values determined
according to the environmental exposure class and intended operating life (EN 1992-1-1). For headed anchoring
couplers, concrete cover refers to the forged head near the edge of the concrete element.
COPRA Anchoring Couplers are pre-designed for use in reinforced concrete structures such as columns, beams, and
foundations. The properties of the anchoring couplers are valid for reinforced concrete with strength class in the
range C25/30 to C50/60.
1.2.3
COPRA Anchoring Couplers are cast into the concrete element up to the top of the coupler. The layout of the
anchoring couplers should also consider the existing reinforcement to ensure the correct installation of the
anchoring couplers and casting of all parts.

NOTE:
The total length of the double-sided COPRA Anchoring Coupler should be dened according to the
dimensions of the concrete member.
The connecting bar in the double-sided H load class model is manufactured from ribbed bars with threads on
both ends and can be produced with a minimum length of 350mm. The connecting bar in the P load class model is
manufactured from weldable threaded bar.
1.3.1
The anchor bars in single-sided COPRA Anchoring Couplers may be bent to t in shallow concrete members.
The minimum dimensions of the bent part are specied in Table 4 and should be also taken into account when
designing the bent anchoring couplers.

Resistances
The resistances of COPRA Anchoring Couplers are determined by a design concept that makes reference to the
following standards:
EN 1992-1-1:2004/AC:2010
EN 1993-1-8:2005
VDI 2233-1:2003
The resistances of COPRA Anchoring Couplers provided in this document are equal to the tensile resistances of the
threaded bars used in the anchoring couplers.

The tensile resistance shown in Table 6 may be reduced when COPRA L type parts with head(s) are used due
to the close location to the concrete edge or a small anchorage length. Each case must be designed caseby-case and veried by a designer.

NOTE 2: The design value of resistance of the anchoring couplers from load class H correspond to the resistance of
the HPM Anchor Bolts and load class P corresponds to the resistance of the PPM Anchor Bolts.
NOTE 3: The resistances shown in Table 5 and Table 6 are without the simultaneous action of axial and shear load.
For combined resistance, use the HPM Technical manual section 2.2.
NOTE 4: The shear resistance of the COPRA Anchoring Coupler is not applicable in combination with the BECO Beam
Shoe. For more information, please see the BECO Technical manual.
2.1
Fire resistance
The concrete cover of the anchoring couplers should be at least equivalent to the concrete cover of the
reinforcement of the concrete element to ensure adequate re protection of the coupler. If the re resistance of
the connection is judged to be insufficient, the concrete cover of the anchoring coupler must be increased.

Installation to foundation
Anchoring couplers are placed into the reinforcing cage and screwed to the installation template with threaded
bars and nuts. The foundation is lled with concrete. When the concrete element hardens to the required strength,
the installation template is removed and used for another group of anchoring couplers. The lower nuts are leveled
to the correct position before the attachment is erected.

NOTE:
Threaded couplers must be clean and dirt-free before the threaded bar is screwed into the coupler.
The gap in the connection must be then grouted with non-shrinking mortar. The connection is nalized after the
grouting has hardened to the sufficient strength and the structure can take the load of upper-oor elements.
