Shear Load Connectors

Reinforced concrete structures are designed with expansion and contraction joints to allow movement to take place. The design of the joint is important for the overall design of the structure to function correctly.

Ancon’s range of shear connectors offers significant advantages over conventional single dowels. These Shear Connectors are more effective at transferring load, simpler to install and ensure the necessary alignment required for movement.

The two part construction means that the sleeve component can be simply nailed to the formwork; drilling of either formwork or concrete is not required.

For a given application, the design program will calculate the size and number of connectors required, the edge distance and spacings, and details of the local reinforcement. Click here to download your free copy of the design program.
