Ancon Solutions to Joints

In most cases doweled or keyed joints can be replaced by joints incorporating Ancon shear load connectors. These connectors are more effective at transferring load and allowing movement to take place, easier to fix on site and can prove a more cost-effective solution. Ancon connectors can be used for joints in floor slabs, suspended slabs, and for replacing double columns and beams at structural movement joints. Applications in civil engineering include joints in bridge parapets, bridge abutments and diaphragm wall construction. The Lockable Dowel is suitable for use at temporary movement joints in post-tensioned concrete.
