REINFORCEMENT<br />

Local Reinforcement<br />

Local reinforcement is required around each<br />

<strong>DSD</strong> dowel and sleeve component to bridge<br />

any fine cracks that develop in the concrete as<br />

the dowels transfer load. Correct detailing in<br />

accordance with BS 8110 and the<br />

recommendations provided here, will ensure<br />

the Ancon <strong>DSD</strong> and <strong>DSD</strong>Q shear connectors<br />

attain their full capacity.<br />

Bar diameter<br />

Vertical Reinforcement<br />

Cross Sectional Area (CSA) is calculated as<br />

CSA =<br />

2.4 x Serviceability <strong>Load</strong> x (Joint Width + Slab Thickness) x 103 follows:-<br />

0.87 x fy x (Slab Thickness - (2 x Cover) - Bar Diameter)<br />

Example <strong>DSD</strong>100 used in 400mm thick slab<br />

Actual serviceability load = 100kN Joint width = 20mm<br />

Bar diameter = 16mm fy = 500N/mm 2 Cover = 40mm<br />

CSA = = 762mm2 2.4 x 100 x (20 + 400) x 103<br />

0.87 x 500 x (400 - 80 - 16)<br />

Use 4 - H16 U-Bars (actual area - 804mm 2 )<br />
