STRIFF® Shear Dowels are designed to allow the expansion or contraction of connection between two concrete elements, effectively reducing or preventing constraints.
The STRIFF® Shear Dowel system allows for the controlled movement of concrete structures in the transverse and/or longitudinal directions of expansion joints. This movement helps to prevent constraints and mitigate potential damages. Simultaneously, STRIFF® ensures that the connected structures maintain the same horizontal level, restricting movement in the vertical direction.
The STRIFF® Shear Dowel system is available in two load models: STRIFF® 43 and STRIFF® 51. Both models feature rectangular cross-sections, which significantly reduce stresses at the contact areas. This reduction in stress aids in minimizing crackling noises that may occur during movement.
Thanks to its utilization of high-quality stainless-steel material, the STRIFF® Shear Dowel is suitable not only for interior applications but also for a variety of other environments.
Comprehensive product information like resistances, required supplementary reinforcement, concrete grades, limitations of use etc. can be found within the Technical Manual. Product details may be country-specific. For design, always use product information that is localized for design's destination country. Country specific Technical Manuals can be found under Documents page, or from website of the country in question.
