GEOCONNECT®: Shear load connectors for structural joints

GEOCONNECT® shear load connectors are connecting devices that can transfer shear loads through structural joints between floor slabs, slabs, beams and walls.

They are made up of two pieces to allow movement of the structural elements on both sides of the joint. Each of the two pieces has a reinforced frame to avoid errors or improvisations in the work.

Their unique design, with only two components, facilitates their installation on site. Furthermore, the correct housing of the dowel is ensured, without any additional installation process.

COMPONENTS

3. CONNECTION BETWEEN FLOOR SLAB AND WALL

Conventional corbel support solution

Solution with GEOCONNECT® shear load connectors: The auxiliary bracket is eliminated

SPECIFICATIONS

Structural shear load connectors should have, in addition to the necessary mechanical features, a high resistance to corrosion since they are housed in exposed joints that are subject to the elements and it is not possible to carry out maintenance work to restore their protection.

GEOCONNECT® shear load connectors are manufactured in two different qualities of steel:
- GEOCONNECT® shear load connectors in galvanised steel (“G” series), for connections of floor slabs to diaphragm walls (with no apparent dilation joint).
- GEOCONNECT® shear load connectors in stainless steel (“I” series), for connections of floor slabs to diaphragm walls, with a visible dilation joint.
