Kannonlistat

Kannonlistat refers to a type of structural reinforcement typically found in concrete structures. The term is of Swedish origin and is widely used in Nordic countries.

Kannonlistat is a Swedish word that can be literally translated to " cannon bands" or " bands of a cannon". However, in the context of construction, it is not related to the hardware used to hold together the parts of a cannon. Instead, it pertains to horizontal or inclined steel reinforcement used in concrete structures. This element aims to improve the building's strength, stability, and flexibility.

These structural reinforcements are usually added in the uppermost part of buildings' foundations and are a common feature in Scandinavian construction. They provide enhanced stability and ensuring that the building remains upright and stable during various weather or other extreme conditions.
