+ SHEAR FORCE DOWEL SYSTEMS

Simple shear force dowels (ESD system)

Simple, safe and cost-effective - shear force transmission between two reinforced concrete components

The use of simple shear force dowels (ESD) enables the transmission of shear forces between reinforced concrete components that are separated by a joint of up to 60 mm.

Simple shear force dowels (ESD system)

Benefits

  • Small member thicknesses required from hmin = 150 mm
  • Transmission of shear forces up to VRd = 191 kN
  • Transmission of shear forces up to a maximum design joint width of tdesign = 60 mm
  • System with European Technical Assessment (ETA 23/0180)
  • Comprehensive technical brochure
  • Lateral movement (in the longitudinal direction of the joint) up to ±15 mm possible (cyclical lateral movements are not permitted)
  • Sleeve with integrated nailing plate
  • No drilling through the formwork or subsequent drilling of concrete required
  • Can be combined with the NURSID® system for height difference compensation of up to 11 mm

Composition

  • Axial movable systems ESD-N ( movement in longitudinal dowel direction)
    Dowel ESD-N with sleeve ESD-NK (plastic) or ESD-NE (stainless steel)
  • Axial and lateral movable systems ESD-Q (movement in joint and longitudinal dowel direction)
    Dowel ESD-N with sleeve ESD-Q (for high loads – stainless steel sleeve with two strengthening rings) and ESD-QV (for medium loads – stainless steel sleeve with one strengthening rings)
