Canute on Concrete: To Fill or Not to Fill?
The joints in an industrial concrete floor have a significant influence on its long-term performance. We explain how concrete shrinkage affects joint openings, the differences between contraction and construction joints, and why the correct joint design and filling strategy are critical for protecting floors exposed to hard-wheeled traffic.
Understanding Joints in Industrial Floors
Contraction joints and free-moving construction joints perform very different functions. Learn when joints should be filled, why semi-rigid joint filler supports and protects concrete arrises, and how anticipated slab movement, applied loads and material-handling traffic should influence joint-system selection.
The Launch of MONSTA-DOWEL
CANZAC has launched MONSTA-DOWEL, a heavy-duty 20 mm plate dowel system engineered to provide high-capacity load transfer in concrete slabs and pavements 200 mm thick and above. Discover how its constant-width plate and tapered sleeve provide reliable load transfer while allowing unrestricted lateral movement as the joint opens.
