Dowel Dowel Cradle Danley

Features

  • Plate dowels alternate to maximise percent of steel at the joint, and provide generous installation tolerances.
  • De-bonding material allows for close steel-to-concrete contact and allows shrinkage without restraint, eliminates need for a plastic sleeve.
  • Wire cradle ensures dowels are at the correct heights and centre spacing.
  • PD3® cradles are 2250 mm long with 5 dowels spaced 500 mm apart. Dowel plates are available in 6 mm or 10 mm thickness.

Product Description

Danley® Dowels are a tapered plate dowel and sleeve system designed to reduce restraint for day joint applications in concrete industrial floors and pavements. Danley® Dowels are designed as a fast fix to timber form system that provides load transfer across the joint and minimises differential deflection between adjacent slab panels. Danley® Dowels provide a low cost solution by eliminating the need for drilling or processing of formwork that is required with traditional round and square dowel systems. Danley® Dowels come pre-packaged with all components ready for installation.

Features

  • Nailing flange with double-headed nails provides secure attachment to the forms.
  • Double-headed nails help retain the sleeve in the concrete when stripping the forms.
  • Plastic sleeves allow the dowel to be installed after the forms are stripped.
  • Plastic sleeves allow the dowel to be installed after the forms are stripped.
  • Available in 6 mm and 10 mm thickness.

Description

The Strategic ReinforcementTM Design is a value engineered solution that combines ground supported flatwork designs, with the performance advantages of tapered plate dowels: PD3® Dowel Cradles and Danley® Dowels. The design optimises materials and labour by placing steel where it provides the most benefit, which is at the joints. All mid-panel reinforcement is thereby eliminated.

Strategically reinforced concrete flatwork minimises joint spalling and random cracking with joints that are strategically placed to mitigate cracks, and the use of tapered plate dowels offer forgiving installation tolerances at the joints. The Strategic ReinforcementTM Design has realised a return on investment for contractors, owners, and designers with more than 3 billion square feet in place worldwide.
