The HALFEN Shear dowel system HSD is an application for the
distribution of shear loads in construction joints. This is mainly
to avoid non-uniform settlements and displacements due to divergent
deformations. According to the applied system type, it enables
horizontal movement in longitudinal direction or longitudinal and
cross direction induced by shrinkage, creep and temperature
influence. For major load distributions HALFEN offers the heavy
duty shear dowel system HSD-CRET.
Quality features are:
simple joint geometry
time saving formwork and application
space-saving solution - double-columns not required
economic solution for sectional construction phases
