Dowel systems

Egcodorn, Egcodubel and Titan are a range of shear dowel systems that can accommodate most static and dynamic loads. Egcodorn stainless steel dowel systems are suitable for transverse force transmission for static and dynamic loads. Egcodubel and Titan dowel dowel systems guarantee that transverse forces at expansion joints are transmitted without impeding the horizontal movement of each component.

Egcodorn is a high-performance corrosion-proof transverse shear force dowel which transfers maximum loads whilst having a minimal component thickness. When using Egcodorn, extensive formwork for expansion joints is not necessary. The unique corrosion protection system and the use of high-quality materials guarantee the highest safety and reliability. The Egcodorn system has a DIBt approval.

Expansion joints allow for movement between adjacent concrete elements caused by physical changes (thermal expansion, shrinking, material creep). The primary application of the Egcodorn stainless steel dowel system is to carry loads across expansion joints in which shear forces occur.

Summary:

• Optimum load transmission into the concrete
• Transfers maximum loads whilst having a minimum component thickness
• Easy, rapid and cost efficient joint production
• Allows for transmission of static and dynamic loads
• Highest corrosion protection due to use of high quality stainless steel
• Fire resistance Class R120
• Special designs available upon request

Egcodubel for expansion joints is a system for transmission of transverse forces in joints of plate-shaped structural elements. Dowels are mainly used for subordinate structural elements (e.g. base slabs), in which expansion joints must only allow for transverse forces.

• High steel quality
• Optimum corrosion protection
• Egcodubel available with or without sleeve

Titan transverse force dowel systems are designed for transverse force transmission mainly for static loads at expansion joints in structural steel elements. Engineers are required to design the optimum joint dimensions and load transmission to the concrete.
