The DSD is a high load double-dowel connector used to transfer shear across expansion and contraction joints in concrete.
In most cases dowelled or keyed joints can be replaced by joints incorporating shear load connectors. These connectors are more effective at transferring load and allowing movement to take place. They are easier to fix on site and can prove a more cost effective solution.
Connectors can be used for movement joints in floor slabs, suspended slabs, and for replacing double columns and beams at structural movement joints.

– Multi Joint: MultiJoint is an all-in-one solution to load transfer, concrete contraction, armoured edge protection and formwork. It is ideal for use in factories, warehouses, distribution centres and other applications where floor slabs are subject to high loads and wheeled traffic. Its use can minimise slab depth, saving time and materials, and prevent uneven vertical settlement between slabs. – Staisil Acoustic dowel:
- ESDQ-L20 Lockable dowel: The dowel component is manufactured from 30 mm diameter Duplex stainless steel; one end is threaded with a fixed nut and washer, and the other features a series of grooves to accept the Locking Plate. The cylindrical sleeve which accepts the dowel component is contained within a box-section to allow lateral, longitudinal and some rotational movement. The epoxy resin is poured into the L-shaped void former. This product has a design capacity of almost 70kN. - ESDQ-L20W Lockable dowel: As ESDQ-L20, but shorter dowel. One end of the dowel is designed to fix into the stainless steel Ancon SKS24 Threaded Anchor cast into the face of the concrete and the other end features a series of grooves to accept the Locking Plate. The sleeve component is the same as used in the ESDQ-L20. - HLDQ-L30 Lockable dowel: The HLDQ-L30 is a high load lockable dowel with a design capacity of up to 136kN. |
