Expansion joints with transverse force transmission and integrated waterstop

Efficient Expansion Joint Solutions – Well-designed, Pre-assembled and Time-saving

The planning and execution of expansion joints in concrete structures are often complex and labour-intensive – particularly when additional components such as water stops or shear dowels need to be installed.

Our prefabricated expansion joint systems provide a practical and efficient solution. Shear dowels and the pre-installed holder for the joint tape are already integrated at the factory. This significantly reduces the potential for on-site errors and speeds up the construction process.

The result: greater planning reliability and improved efficiency on site.

How to:

• The engineered Stremaform^® formwork elements are customized to precisely match the foundation design. All standardized and bespoke elements – such as floor/slab to-rising wall transitions – are designed and produced in a factory setting and delivered installation ready to the building site. The installer is provided with shop drawings, indicating the exact location of each element, making sure that the engineered solution does not collide with execution on site.
• Assembly times are considerably shortened by the integration of Egcodorn^® transverse force dowels. Egcodorn^® dowels allow for maximum transverse force transmission, while requiring minimal component thicknesses.
  
• The only component to be added to the assembly on site is the expansion joint rubber waterbar, which is simply inserted into the provided cage. Thus, the number of splices is reduced and secure placement of the rubber waterbar during concreting operations is ensured.
