Steel Armour Joints for edge protection of construction joints is provided by us for protecting construction joints against spalling or breaking.We use steel armoured joints at construction joints mostly falling in the gangway area where the arris or edges of the construction joints are vulnerable to damage when trafficked by Material Handling Equipment (MHE).  To prevent this damage to the joints the construction joint is armoured.

Steel armour joints consist of strips 40 (Depth) x 8mm (wide). The armour is fixed into the slab with shear studs, which are welded to the steel strips. Below the armoured strips is a sheet of steel that acts as permanent formwork. It is within this formwork that plate dowels are typically pre-installed to act as load-transfer mechanisms at the joint. For the armour to be effective, it must be sufficiently stiff and well bonded to the concrete to resist and distribute the impact forces from the MHE.

For the best effectiveness, these joints are located as far as possible in high traffic zones. We supply  & fix Steel Armour joints with 8mm thick anchorage dowels at day end joints, complete all as per global specification. Steel armour joints are fixed  making use of high height fixing jacks.

Steel Armoured Joints are used for protecting construction joints against spalling or breaking. It is used for heavy-duty applications on jointed floors with saw cuts and joint-less SFRC or mesh reinforced ground bearing slabs. It can perform well up to 30 mm joint opening. This ensures smooth and even load transfer across the floor panels.
