HALFEN HSD Shear Dowel Systems are designed to distribute shear
loads through construction joints. The shear dowels allow relative
displacement, reducing internal stresses and thus eliminating
cracking of the concrete.
HALFEN HSD Shear Dowels provide solutions for a variety of
applications, loads, slab depths, and joint widths. Each connector
is a two-part assembly comprising of a sleeve and a dowel
component. The sleeve is nailed to the formwork ensuring subsequent
alignment with the dowel and that the system works as
intended.
HALFEN Shear Dowels are manufactured from stainless steel to ensure
a high degree of corrosion resistance with no requirements for
additional protection.
HALFEN HSD Shear Dowel Systems are ideal for use in expansion joint
applications and provide a more efficient alternative to corbels.
Eliminating the custom formwork and congested reinforcing
associated with traditional concrete corbels reduces overall cost
and construction time.
