HALFEN HSD SHEAR DOWEL S YS TEM Dimensioning Expansion joints to prevent constraint stresses For flat slabs, it is advisable to arrange the dowels at different spacings according to the different shear load concentrations. The value and the distribution of the shear load to be transmitted can be determined by a finite elements slab calculation. The static model of a continuous beam is suitable for the dimensioning of the edge of the slab. Shear and bending moments will be used for the dimensioning of the reinforcement across and along the edge. It must thereby be noted that transverse and longitudinal...
