Lockable Dowels for Temporary Movement Joints
Leviat
Lockable Dowels have been designed by Ancon for use at temporary movement joints, most commonly found in post-tensioned concrete frames.
These dowels allow initial shrinkage of the concrete to take place and are then locked in position with a mechanical plate and a controlled amount of epoxy resin. The locked dowels continue to transfer shear, but prevent further movement taking place.
Masonry Reinforcement and Windposts
Leviat
Large panels of masonry or panels with openings can often be difficult to justify structurally. The traditional solutions have been to either increase the thickness of the wall or introduce an additional masonry pier.
Ancon AMR Bed Joint
Reinforcement and Ancon
Windposts are designed to provide
additional lateral support for panels
of masonry. Windposts can be
installed into either the inner leaf of
blockwork or into the cavity leaving
the blockwork undisturbed. Ancon
AMR is a fabricated and flattened
stainless steel or carbon steel
reinforcement which locates in the
bed joint to strengthen a wall.
Parapet Posts are used as vertical
support for brickwork in parapet
panels.
