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.Leviat's MB Double Shear Dowel 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 and drilling of either formwork or concrete is not required. The sleeve is simply nailed to the formwork ensuring subsequent alignment with the dowel, which is essential for effective movement.

These connectors are manufactured from stainless steel to ensure a high degree of corrosion resistance with no requirement for additional protection.

The Double Shear Dowel is the original two-part, double dowel, shear load connector with the two dowels manufactured from Duplex stainless steel bar. The dowel component can move longitudinally within the sleeve to accommodate movement. The connector is available in 10 standard sizes and has design capacities from approximately 20kN to more than 950kN.

The larger connectors can be used in joints up to 60mm wide, while larger joints can be accommodated using special dowels. Please contact our Engineering Department for further information.
