Lockable Dowels and Locking Pins
The ‘Lockable’ RangeLockable Dowels and Locking Pins are unique,patented products. They were developed byAncon for use at temporary movement joints,most commonly found in post-tensionedconcrete frames. They allow initial shrinkage ofthe concrete to take place and are then lockedin position, by mechanical and chemicalmeans, to prevent further movement takingplace.
They also provide many advantages over thesite-assembled arrangement of carbon steelreinforcing bar, galvanised or plastic ducting,vent tubes and a non-specific grout, which issometimes used by contractors.
Lockable Dowels transfer shear load in boththeir locked and unlocked state which reducesslab propping times and accelerates the rateof construction.
Locking Pins are ideal for applications wherethere is little or no shear load.
When used together, or in combination withother shear load connectors from the Anconrange, these unique ‘lockable’ productsprovide a cost-effective and practical fixingsolution. Contact Ancon with your projectdetails.
Pour Strips restrict site access, cause atrip hazard and delay progress on site
The Lockable Dowel eliminates the needfor Pour Strips, accelerating the speed ofconstruction and improving site safety

AdvantagesThe use of Lockable Dowels can save asignificant amount of time and materialsover other construction methods. Concreteshrinkage has traditionally beenaccommodated by leaving gaps in the slabcalled ‘pour strips’ or ‘closure strips’. Thesestrips are filled once movement has stabilised,however until they are filled the slabs must bepropped, restricting site access and delayingsite progress. Gaps in the slab also create atrip hazard for site workers, use additionalformwork and can leave the soffit face marked.
Lockable Dowels improve site access,minimise formwork requirements andaccelerate the rate of construction. With aLockable Dowel, there is less requirement forthe slabs to be propped or a support corbel tobe constructed, as shear load is transferred bythe dowel. The time saved by early removal ofslab props can be significant.
In addition, engineers have found the AnconLockable Dowel to be the preferred designsolution for pin-ended joints. Although it iscustomary for practical reasons to use U-barsor other rebar continuity systems at theseconnections, these options do not truly act ashinges and so rotation of the slab under load

can induce cracking at the wall-to-slabinterface with potential integrity issues.
The Lockable Dowel is closer to a true pin-ended joint and, being manufactured fromstainless steel, provides additional corrosionprotection over systems using carbon steelreinforcement.
The design capacities shown on page 8 arebacked by independent test data and theunique void former allows inspection of thedowel before the joint is locked.
Standard Ancon systems are available for useat slab joints and retaining / core walls.
ApplicationsIn most cases, Ancon Lockable Dowels can be used to replace pourstrips at temporary movement joints in post-tensioned concreteframes. Standard Ancon systems are available for use at slab jointsand retaining / core walls.

The consulting design engineer wanted a one metre widepour strip to be left open for 90 days which wasn’tacceptable to Hansen Yuncken. Using the Lockable Dowelsystem from Ancon allowed earlier formwork stripping andwork to continue with our services, thereby reducing overallconstruction time.Brent Courtney, Senior Site Manager, Hansen Yuncken QLD
The Lockable Dowel is a very clean system. If you haveencountered pour strips before, the Lockable Dowel is a no-brainer.Mahmoud Farawi, Skanska USA

Lockable Dowels and Locking Pins
Slab-to-Slab Locking PinALP19The pin component is manufactured from500MPa coil bar which comprises a constantrolled thread. One end of the pin features a hotforged head which increases its resistance totensile forces; the size of this head complieswith the AUS/NZ standard for headedreinforcement. The other end of the pinfeatures a notch to accept the Ancon lockingplate.
When installed in the heavy duty injectionmoulded sleeve, the pin component issuspended in a tube; a locating bush andpinch points cradle the bar to ensure evendistribution of the grout. The sleeve allowslateral and some rotational movement of thepin, in addition to longitudinal movement, priorto locking. The sleeve is ribbed on the outsidefor increased bond with the concrete andfeatures indentations on the inside to maximisegrout bond. The sleeve features the standardAncon void former. A blue lid allows easyidentification on site, differentiating it from aLockable Dowel in a cast slab.
Slab-to-Wall Locking PinALP19WFor walls, the pin component is manufacturedfrom 500MPa coil bar like in the slab-to-slabsystem but is shorter in length. One end of thepin screws directly into a threaded anchor(product ref. ALP19TA) that is cast into theface of the concrete wall and the other endfeatures a notch to accept the proprietaryLocking Plate. The sleeve component is thesame as used in the standard slab-to-slab ALPsystem.
Range of Locking PinsA Locking Pin allows initial shrinkage of the concrete to take place and then, after a pre-determined time period (generally 3-4 weeks), is locked inposition with a mechanical plate and a controlled amount of Ancon high strength, cementitious, non-shrink grout. The range comprises the ALP19 forslab-to-slab applications and the ALP19W for slab-to-wall applications.

Lockable Dowel Design Strengths
MovementVertical load transferbetween slabs
LockedVertical load transferbetween slabs
Load transferbetween slabs
ESDQ-L20 ExampleSlab thickness = 240mmJoint width = 20mmConcrete strength = 32MPaCharacteristic permanent action (dead load) = 45kN/m G = 1.2Characteristic variable action (imposed load) = 50kN/m Q = 1.5Design load = 1.2 x 45 + 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 towall 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 thicknessto increase the design capacity across the joint, in this example it would increase to 100 /0.36 = 277kN (for slab to wall 80 / 0.36 = 222kN).

Joint Filler / Fire Protection
Ancon can provide information on a suitablejoint filler and also recommend fire resistantmaterial which could be used as part of anoverall fire protection system.
ESDQ-L20 Example
Slab thickness = 300mmMaximum width of joint = 20mmConcrete strength = 32MPaDesign resistance/connector = 63.5kN (based on slabs 260mm and above)Spacing for max. load 300 x 1.5 = 450mmEnd distance for max. load 450 x 0.5 = 225mmDesign resistance/metre = 63.5 / 0.45 = 141.1kN/m
As an ESDQ-L20 can be used in a 220mm slab for a design resistance per connector of upto 53.6kN, the spacing can be based on a 220mm slab. Therefore:
Reduced spacing 220 x 1.5 = 330mmReduced end distance 330 x 0.5 = 165mmDesign resistance/metre 53.6 / 0.33 = 162.4kN/m

Locking Pin Performance & DimensionsLocking Pins are ideal for use in applications where tension loads are high but there is little or noshear load or where the shear load is accommodated elsewhere for example either by a supportcorbel, double column or an alternate Ancon shear load connector.
The Ancon Locking Pin offers many advantages over the site-assembled arrangement of carbonsteel reinforcing bar, PT ducting, vent tubes and a non-specific grout, which is sometimes used byconcrete contractors. Locking Pins are a reliable engineered solution that offers ease of installationand proven performance.
Independent TestingTested at the Centre for AdvancedStructural Engineering at the University ofSydney.
The 19mm diameter pin componentexceeds the tensile resistance of a standard16mm reinforcing bar. It offers the addedbenefit of forming an independently verified,easy-to-install Ancon system.

Installation: Lockable DowelsSlab-to-SlabAlthough 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 displacementduring casting of the concrete.
Nail the sleeve to the formwork either central inthe slab or for slab depths over 300mm so thetop of the void former is level with the top of theslab. Do not remove the label over the nailingplate as this prevents ingress of concrete intothe sleeve. Fix the local reinforcement, asspecified on engineer’s drawings.
1 2
Pour the concrete, and when of sufficientstrength, strike the formwork. Puncture thelabel to reveal the cylindrical sleeve only andinsert the dowel until it is approximately 20mmfrom the back of the void former.
Mix the two-part epoxy resin and pour into thevoid former. It is essential the resin flows alongthe stainless steel box section towards thejoint and reaches the notches on the lockingplate, which indicate minimum resin depth.
Joint must be filled before resin is installed.
After a predetermined time period (generally 3-4 weeks), when movement between the slabshas stabilised and the joint between the slabshas been filled, the dowel is ready to belocked.
Fit the Locking Plate on a groove in the centreof the void former. The fan-shaped LockingPlate allows the dowel to be locked in anyposition.
5
After 24 hours the void former can be filledwith cementitious material, level with the top ofthe slab, to complete the installation.
The locked dowel continues to transfer verticalload between the slabs, but movement can nolonger take place.
64
Fix the local reinforcement around the dowelcomponent and pour the concrete.
3
Nail the threaded anchor to the formwork sothe dowel will be central in the adjoining slabor within 150mm of the top of slabs over300mm. Fix the local reinforcement asspecified on engineer’s drawings and cast theconcrete.
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 thecylindrical sleeve only. Push the sleeve over thedowel until it is flush with the concrete. Tiesleeve to reinforcement and pour concrete.

Other Ancon ProductsDSD/Q Shear Load ConnectorsAncon DSD and DSDQ double-dowelconnectors are used to transfer shear acrossmovement joints in suspended concrete slabs.They are more effective at transferring loadand allowing movement than standard singledowels and can be used to eliminate doublecolumns at structural movement joints inbuildings. The Q version features a rectangularbox section to allow lateral and some rotationalmovement.
Plate Dowel SystemsAncon MultiJoint is a plate dowel system foruse in ground bearing concrete floor slabs. It isan all-in-one solution to load transfer, concretecontraction, armoured edge protection andformwork. Individual plate dowels are alsoavailable.
Punching Shear ReinforcementAncon Shearfix is used within a slab to provideadditional reinforcement from punching sheararound columns. The system consists ofdouble-headed steel studs welded to flat railsand is designed to suit the load conditions andslab depth at each column using freecalculation software from Ancon.
Reinforcing Bar CouplersThe use of reinforcing bar couplers canprovide significant advantages over lappedjoints. Design and construction of the concretecan be simplified and the amount ofreinforcement can be reduced. The Anconrange includes BT parallel-threaded and MBTmechanically-bolted couplers.
Reinforcement Continuity SystemsReinforcement Continuity Systems are anincreasingly popular means of maintainingcontinuity of reinforcement at construction jointsin concrete. The Ancon Keybox systemeliminates the need to drill shuttering and cansimplify formwork design, thereby acceleratingthe construction process. It is available in bothstandard units and special configurations.Ancon KSN Anchors eliminate the need for o n-site bar straightening and are available asstandard to accept 12mm, 16mm and 20mmdiameter rebar. The system is also available witha re-useable rebate former.
Stainless Steel ReinforcementAncon supplies stainless steel plain and ribbedbar in a variety of grades, including high proofstrength material, direct from stock. Bardiameters range from 6mm to 50mm and canbe cut to length, bent and threaded to suit anyapplication. Stainless steel BT couplers arealso available to suit bars from 12mmdiameter.
