Applications
In most cases, Ancon Lockable Dowels can be used to replace pour
strips at temporary movement joints in post-tensioned concrete
frames. Standard Ancon systems are available for use at slab joints
and retaining / core walls.

“
The consulting design engineer wanted a one metre wide
pour strip to be left open for 90 days which wasn’t acceptable
to Hansen Yuncken. Using the Ancon Lockable Dowel system
allowed earlier formwork stripping and work to continue with our
services, thereby reducing overall construction time.
Brent Courtney, Senior Site Manager, Hansen Yuncken QLD ”
“
The Lockable Dowel is a very clean system. If you have
encountered pour strips before, the Lockable Dowel is a
no-brainer.

Range of Lockable Dowels

A Lockable Dowel allows initial shrinkage of the concrete to take place and then, after a pre-determined time period (generally 3-4 weeks), is locked in
position with a mechanical plate and a controlled amount of epoxy resin. The range comprises three products; ESDQ-L20, HLDQ-L30 and ESDQ-L20W.

Range of Locking Pins

A Locking Pin allows initial shrinkage of the concrete to take place and then, after a pre-determined time period (generally 3-4 weeks), is locked in
position with a mechanical plate and a controlled amount of Ancon high strength, cementitious, non-shrink grout. The range comprises the ALP19 for
slab-to-slab applications and the ALP19W for slab-to-wall applications.

Slab-to-Slab Locking Pin

ALP19
The pin component is manufactured from
500MPa coil bar which comprises a constant
rolled thread. One end of the pin features a hot
forged head which increases its resistance to
tensile forces; the size of this head complies
with the AUS/NZ standard for headed
reinforcement. The other end of the pin Locking Plate
features a notch to accept the Ancon locking
plate.
When installed in the heavy duty injection
moulded sleeve, the pin component is

features indentations on the inside to maximise for Slab-to-Slab

High Strength Grout

In combination with the mechanical locking
plate, the Pin is locked with Ancon high
strength, cementitious, non-shrink grout.
We recommend the grout is mixed to a
flowable consistency which, at a normal
curing temperature (20˚C), achieves a
compressive strength of 20MPa in 24 hours
and 75MPa in 28 days. Users should refer to
storage and mixing instructions supplied with
the product.

0.45 = 222kN (for slab to wall 80 / 0.45 = 177kN).
If this is insufficient, the dowel centres can be reduced to a minimum of 1.5 x slab thickness
to increase the design capacity across the joint, in this example it would increase to 100 /

Edge Distance and Spacings
For connectors working at or near their maximum capacity, the minimum
spacing should be 1.5 times the slab thickness. Where the design load of the connector could be
used in a thinner slab, a spacing of 1.5 times the thinner slab thickness can be used. The minimum
end distance is always 0.5 times the spacing.

Design resistance/metre = 63.5 / 0.45 = 141.1kN/m
As an ESDQ-L20 can be used in a 220mm slab for a design resistance per connector of up
to 53.6kN, the spacing can be based on a 220mm slab. Therefore:
Reduced spacing 220 x 1.5 = 330mm
Reduced end distance 330 x 0.5 = 165mm
Design resistance/metre 53.6 / 0.33 = 162.4kN/m
