Ancon designs and manufactures high integrity steel products for

the construction industry. Through continuous programmes of new

product development, inward investment and employee

advancement, the company is committed to maintaining the

highest level of customer service within a dynamic and challenging

industry.

Reinforced concrete is an important

construction material. It offers strength,

durability and can be formed into a variety of

shapes. Concrete structures are designed with

expansion and contraction joints at appropriate

places to allow movement to take place. The

design of the joint is important for the overall

design to function correctly.

Ancon shear load connectors offer significant

advantages over plain dowels.

DOWELLED JOINTS

Dowels are used to transfer shear across

construction and movement joints in concrete.

They are often either cast or drilled into the

concrete. A single row of short thick dowels

provides reasonable shear transfer but suffersfrom deformation. This can lead to stress

concentrations, resulting in subsequent spalling

of the concrete.

Where dowels are used across expansion and

contraction joints, half the length of the bar is

debonded to allow movement to take place.

KEYED JOINTS

Keyed joints require complicated formwork to

create the tongue and groove. If the joint is not

formed correctly, differential movement can

take place. Load is transferred through the

locally reduced section of the joint which can attimes result in cracking.

Dowelled joints either require formwork to be

drilled for the dowels to pass through, or

concrete to be drilled for dowels to be resin

fixed in one side.

At movement joints, dowels will need to be

accurately aligned in both directions to ensure

movement can actually take place, otherwise

cracking is likely to occur.

Plain dowels are not very effective when used

across joints wider than 10mm.

ANCON SOLUTIONS TO JOINTS

In most cases dowelled or keyed joints can be

replaced by joints incorporating Ancon shear

load connectors. These connectors are more

effective at transferring load and allowing

movement to take place, easier to fix on site

and can prove a more cost-effective solution.

Ancon connectors can be used for movement

joints in floor slabs, suspended slabs, and for

replacing double columns and beams at

structural movement joints. Applications in civil

engineering include joints in bridge parapets,

bridge abutments and diaphragm wall

construction.

ANCON S HEA R LOAD CONNECTORS

The DSD range of connectors offers significant

advantages over plain dowels. Each connector

is a two-part assembly comprising a sleeve

and a dowel component. Installation is a fast

and accurate process, drilling of either

formwork or concrete is not required. The

sleeve is simply nailed to the formwork

ensuring subsequent alignment with the dowel,

essential for effective movement.

They are manufactured from stainless steel to

ensure a high degree of corrosion resistance

with no requirement for additional protection.

Free software is available from Ancon that

simplifies the design of movement joints in

reinforced concrete. For a given application,

Ancons design program will calculate the size

and quantity of shear load connectors required,

the edge distance and spacings at which they

should be installed, and details of the local

reinforcement.

Ancon DSD

The Ancon DSD is the original two-part, double

dowel, shear load connector. The two dowelsare Duplex stainless steel bar. The dowel

component can move longitudinally within the

sleeve to accommodate movement. The

connector is available in ten standard sizes and

has design capacities from around 20kN to

over 950kN. The larger connectors can be

used in joints up to 60mm wide. Larger joints

can be accommodated using special dowels.

Please contact Ancons Technical Department

for further information.

Ancon DSDQ

The Ancon DSDQ shear load connectoruses the same dowel component as the Ancon

DSD, but the cylindrical sleeve is contained

within a rectangular box section to allow lateral

movement in addition to the longitudinal

movement. There are nine standard sizes

which have design capacities from around

30kN to over 950kN.

A range of stainless steel single dowel shear

connectors is also available.

Ancon ESD

The Ancon ESD shear load connector is used

where loads are small, but where alignment is

critical. It is available in four sizes with each size

available in two lengths. The dowel component

is Duplex stainless steel bar.

Ancon ESDQ

The Ancon ESDQ shear load connector uses

the same dowel as the ESD, but the cylindrical

sleeve is contained within a rectangular boxsection to allow lateral movement or rotation in

addition to longitudinal movement.

Ancon ED

The Ancon ED is a low cost dowel connector

for use in floor slabs where alignment is

important but loads are small. The single dowel

shear connector is available in four sizes with

each size available in two lengths. The sleeve

component is made from a durable plastic and

features an integral nail plate. The dowel

component is Duplex stainless steel.

Ancon Staisil

The Ancon Staisil acoustic connector is

designed to transfer shear loads and limit

sound transmission across joints in concrete.

The sleeve has Elastomer sound absorbing

material between two stainless steel tubes and

a nail plate for fixing to formwork. The sound

transmission properties are generally

unaffected by either joint width or service load.

Tests in the frequency range of 100 - 3150 Hz

have shown a reduction in sound transmission

of 20dB. When the standard solid dowel was

replaced by an antivibration dowel a reductionof 25dB was recorded.

Fix the local reinforcement in position around the sleeve component together with any other

reinforcement that is required, ensuring that the correct cover to the reinforcement is maintained.

Pour the concrete to complete the installation of the sleeve component.

3

When the concrete has achieved sufficient

strength, strike the shuttering. Peel off or

puncture the label to reveal the holes for the

dowels. Where Q versions are being used, the

label should only be punctured enough to allow

the dowel into the cylindrical sleeve to prevent

debris entering the box section.

1

Nail the sleeve component to the shuttering

ensuring that the sleeve is correctly orientated

for the direction of the load. Check that the

minimum spacing and edge distances are notexceeded. The label prevents debris from

entering into the sleeve aperture and should

not be removed at this stage.

4

Position compressible joint filler of the

appropriate width, for applications where

movement is expected between the two

sections of concrete.

5

Push the dowel component through the joint

filler (if applicable) until it is fully located in the

sleeve component. It may be necessary to tap

the dowel component to overcome the dimple

which pinch holds the dowel in the sleeve and

prevents dislocation when the concrete is

vibrated.

6

Fix the local reinforcement in position around

the dowel component together with any other

reinforcement that is required, ensuring that the

correct cover to the reinforcement is

maintained. Pour the concrete to complete the

installation of the shear connector.

Notes:

(i) Although installation is shown for Ancon DSD, the procedure is the same for all Ancon shear connectors.

(ii) Where deep concrete pours are proposed, the installation will require further consideration. More robust fixing ofthe sleeve and dowel components will be necessary to avoid displacement during placing of the concrete.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

The two-part assembly of all Ancon shear connectors removes the need for drilling formwork on

site, supporting dowel bars and fitting debonding sleeves and end caps. The installation is a fast

and accurate process.

Reinforcement Details

Local reinforcement is required around each

connector to guarantee that the forces are

transferred between the connectors and the

concrete. Correct detailing in accordance with

appropriate design codes and therecommendations provided here will ensure

Reinforcement Details

Local reinforcement is required around each

connector to guarantee that the forces are

transferred between the connectors and the

concrete. Correct detailing in accordance with

appropriate design codes and therecommendations provided here will ensure

Ancon ESD, ESDQ, ED and Staisil connectors

attain their full capacity.

The tables show proposals for the type and

spacing of the main reinforcement, together

OTHER ANCON PRODUCTS

Reinforcement Continuity Systems

Reinforcement Continuity Systems are an

increasingly popular means of maintaining

continuity of reinforcement at construction

joints in concrete. Ancon Eazistrip is approvedby UK CARES and consists of pre-bent bars

housed within a galvanised steel casing. Once

installed, the protective cover is removed and

the bars are straightened. Ancon Starter Bars

are supplied fixed to an Ancon coupler. Once

cast in concrete, the couplers end cap is

removed and a threaded continuation bar is

installed with a calibrated torque wrench to

complete the connection.

Reinforcing Bar Couplers

The use of reinforcing bar couplers can provide

significant advantages over lapped joints.Design and construction of the concrete can

be simplified and the amount of reinforcement

required can be reduced. Because the strength

of a mechanical splice is independent of the

concrete in which it is located, the joint can

also remain unaffected by any loss of cover.

The range includes threaded and mechanically

bolted couplers.

Punching Shear Reinforcement

Used within a slab to provide additional

reinforcement around columns, Ancon Shearfix

is the ideal solution to the design andconstruction problems associated with

punching shear. The system consists of

double-headed studs welded to flat rails,

positioned around the column. The shear load

from the slab is transferred through the studs

into the column.

Insulated Balcony Connections

Ancon Isolan connectors join external concrete

balconies to internal floor slabs. Used to

minimise cold bridging, they provide continuity

to the thermal insulation. Standard systems,

comprising rigid CFC-free polystyrene insulation

and duplex stainless steel shear reinforcement,

suit most depths of cantilevered and simply

supported balconies. Conventional reinforcing

bars are used to provide the tension and

compression reinforcement.

Channels and Bolts for Fixing to Concrete

Cast-in channels are used for fixing masonry

support systems to the edges of concrete

floors and beams. Channels are available in

different sizes ranging from simple self

anchoring channels for restraints, to large

capacity channels with integral anchors.

A selection of channels can also be supplied

plain-backed for surface fixing. Stainless steel

expansion bolts and resin anchors complete

the range.

Once the resin reaches full strength, the sleeve component is

pushed over the exposed end of the dowel. The required local

reinforcement is located around the sleeve, ensuring that the

correct cover is maintained. The concrete is cast to complete the

installation.

*In applications where movement needs to be accommodated,

please contact Ancon.

Ancon E-HLD Shear Load Connector

The Ancon E-HLD joins new concrete slabs to existing concrete

walls. It is designed to transfer shear load where new slabs are

connected to diaphragm walls or secant pile walls in basement

construction*.

The E-HLD comprises a stainless steel dowel and a high

strength, stainless steel sleeve. It is available in seven standard

sizes and can be used in a slab thickness from 160mm andjoints up to 60mm wide. Ancon two-part resin is required to

install the dowel component. The quantity of resin cartridges

required will depend on dowel diameter and number being fixed.

Ancon Lockable Dowels

THE LOCKABLE DOWEL

Ancon Lockable Dowels have been designed

for use at temporary movement joints, most

commonly found in post-tensioned concrete

construction. The dowel allows initial shrinkage

of the concrete to take place and is thenlocked in position with a mechanical plate and

a controlled amount of epoxy resin. The locked

dowel continues to transfer shear, but prevents

further movement taking place.

A Lockable Dowel provides many advantages

over a site-assembled arrangement of carbon

steel reinforcing bar, galvanised or plastic

ducting, vent tubes and a non-specific grout.

Use of a Lockable Dowel eliminates the need

for complicated formwork and the additional

materials used to construct a support corbel.

The design capacities shown on page 4 are

backed by independent test data and the

unique void former allows inspection of the

dowel before the joint is locked.

Lockable Dowels can improve site access.

When installed at slab joints they do not

require to be propped from below and they

replace pour strips, which are a potential trip

hazard on site.

Standard Ancon systems are available to suit

slab joints and retaining / core walls.

The performance of site-assembled components is unreliable and in mostapplications a support corbel is required.

The Ancon Lockable Dowel has beenindependently tested and is easy

to install.

SLAB-TO-SLAB LOCKABLE DOWELS

ESDQ-L20*

The dowel component is manufactured from

30mm 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. See pages 4-7 for

full technical details.

A Lockable Dowel allows initial shrinkage of the concrete to take place and then, after a pre-determined time period (generally 60-120 days), is locked in

position with a mechanical plate and a controlled amount of epoxy resin. The range comprises three products; ESDQ-L20, HLDQ-L30 and ESDQ-L20W

SLAB-TO-WALL LOCKABLE DOWEL

ESDQ-L20W*

The dowel component is manufactured from

30mm diameter Duplex stainless steel, but is

shorter than the ESDQ-L20 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. See pages

4-7 for full technical details.

Slab-to-Wall Application

Epoxy Resin

Each dowel is locked after a pre-determined

time period (generally 60-120 days) with a high

quality, two-part epoxy resin. The resin is

mixed and poured into the L-shaped void

former. One 1.5 litre can is supplied per dowel.

ESDQ-L20 Example

Slab thickness = 240mm

Joint width = 20mm

Concrete strength = C30/37

Characteristic permanent action (dead load) = 40kN/m G = 1.35*

Characteristic variable action (imposed load) = 50kN/m Q = 1.5*

Design load = 1.35 x 40 + 1.5 x 50 = 129kN/m

Vertical design resistance = 62.2kN (240mm slab 20mm joint)

Therefore centres for vertical load = 62.2 / 129 = 0.482m use 450mm centres

Each dowel will in addition provide a design resistance across the joint of 100kN (for slab to

wall this is 80kN), therefore the total design resistance in the direction of the dowel = 100 /

0.45 = 222kN (for slab to wall 80 / 0.45 = 177kN)

If this is insufficient, the dowel centres can be reduced to a minimum of 1.5 x slab thickness

to increase the design resistance across the joint, in this example it would increase to 100 /

0.36 = 277kN (for slab to wall 80 / 0.36 = 222kN)

*The partial safety factors of 1.35 (G) and 1.5 (Q) are those recommended in EN 1990 Eurocode: Basis forstructural design. For designs to Eurocode 2, please refer to the national annex for the factors to be used in thecountry concerned. For designers to BS8110, G = 1.4 and Q = 1.6. Other national standards may requiredifferent safety factors.

EDGE DISTANCE AND SPACINGS

For connectors working at or near their

maximum capacity, the minimum spacingshould be 1.5 times the slab thickness. Where

the design load of the connector could be

used in a thinner slab, a spacing of 1.5 times

the thinner slab thickness can be used. The

minimum end distance is always 0.5 times the

spacing.

ESDQ-L20 Example

Slab thickness = 300mm

Joint Width = 20mm

Concrete strength = C30/37Design load per connector = 50kN

Spacing for max. load 300 x 1.5

= 450mm

End distance for max. load 450 x 0.5

= 225mm

As an ESDQ-L20 can be used in a 220mm

slab for a design load per connector of up

to 53.6kN, the spacing can be based on a

220mm slab. Therefore:

Reduced spacing 220 x 1.5

= 330mm

Reduced end distance 330 x 0.5

= 165mm

REINFORCEMENT DETAILS

Local reinforcement is required around each Ancon Lockable Dowel to guarantee that the forces are transferred between the connectors and the

concrete. Correct detailing in accordance with appropriate design codes and the recommendations provided here will ensure the dowels attain their

full capacity. The tables show the type and spacing of the main reinforcement, together with details of reinforcement above and below the

connectors. Although only the sleeve components are illustrated, the same reinforcement is required around the dowel component.

Threaded Anchor

Reinforcement around the Ancon Threaded Anchor should be a minimum diameter of

12mm, installed at maximum 200mm vertical and horizontal centres.

INSTALLATION

Slab-to-Slab

Although installation is shown for the ESDQ-L20, the procedure is the same for the HLDQ-L30.

Slab-to-Wall

Notes: Where deep concrete pours are proposed, the installation will require further consideration. More robust fixing of the sleeve and dowel

components will be necessary, to avoid displacement during casting of the concrete.

Ensure joint has been filled before pouring resin.

Nail the sleeve to the formwork either central in

the slab or for slab depths over 300mm so the

top of the grout box is level with the top of the

slab. Do not remove the label over the nailing

plate as this prevents ingress of concrete intothe sleeve. Fix the local reinforcement.

1 2

Pour the concrete, and when of sufficient

strength, strike the formwork. Puncture the

label to reveal the cylindrical sleeve only and

insert the dowel until it is approximately 20mm

from the back of the grout box.

Mix the two-part epoxy resin and pour into the

grout box, ensuring it flows along the stainless

steel box section towards the joint.

Joint must be filled before resin is installed.

After a predetermined time period (generally

60-120 days), when movement between the

slabs has stabilised and the joint between the

slabs has been filled, the dowel is ready to belocked. Fit the Locking Plate on a groove in

the centre of the grout box. The fan-shaped

Locking Plate allows the dowel to be locked in

any position.

5

After 24 hours the grout box can be filled with

cementitious material, level with the top of the

slab, to complete the installation.

The locked dowel continues to transfer vertical

load between the slabs, but movement can no

longer take place.

64

Fix the local reinforcement around the dowel

component and pour the concrete.

3

Nail the threaded anchor to the formwork so

the dowel will be central in the adjoining slab

or within 150mm of the top of slabs over

300mm. Fix the local reinforcement and cast

the concrete.

1 2

When concrete reaches sufficient strength,

strike the formwork and remove nailing plate.

Screw the dowel into the anchor.

Puncture the label of the sleeve to reveal the

cylindrical sleeve only. Push the sleeve over the

dowel, until the dowel is approximately 20mm

from the back of the grout box. Tie sleeve to

reinforcement and pour concrete.

See Steps 4 to 6 above to complete

installation.
