TR34 (4th Edition) Concrete Industrial Ground Floors – a guide to design and construction
Diamond™ Dowels are a plate dowel and sleeve system designed for construction joint applications in concrete slabs and pavements. Diamond Dowels are designed as a fast fix system that provides load transfer across the joint and minimises differential deflection between adjacent slab panels. Diamond Dowels provide a low in-place cost solution by eliminating the need for the drilling or processing of formwork that is required with traditional round and square dowel systems. Danley™ Diamond Dowels comply with TR34 (4th Edition) providing load capacity at 20mm joint width.
ACI360R-10 Guide to Design of Slabs-on-Ground
Design methods are given for unreinforced concrete, reinforced concrete, shrinkage-compensating concrete, post-tensioned concrete, fibre-reinforced concrete slabs-on-ground, and slabs-on-ground in refrigerated buildings, followed by information on shrinkage and curling. Advantages and disadvantages of these slab design methods are provided, including the ability of some slab designs to minimize cracking and curling more than others.
The patented PD3™ design features a tapered and sleeveless plate dowel that provides the world’s best performance in limiting joint deflection to provide superior joint stability. The PD3 Dowel Cradle provides the highest deflection control tolerance in line with ACI Standards recommendations to limit joint spalling, facilitate load transfer and provide the lowest risk of restraint to ensure the best serviceability outcome for the slab design.
