E-HLD

Shear Load
Connectors
For the connection of new slabs to
diaphragm walls or secant pile walls in
basement construction

Ancon E-HLD Shear Load Connector

The Ancon E-HLD joins new concrete slabs to existing concrete
walls. It is designed to transfer shear load where new slabs are
connected to diaphragm walls or secant pile walls in basement
construction*.
The E-HLD comprises a stainless steel dowel and a high
strength, stainless steel sleeve. It is available in seven standard
sizes and can be used in a slab thickness from 160mm and
joints up to 60mm wide. Ancon two-part resin is required to
install the dowel component. The quantity of resin cartridges
required will depend on dowel diameter and number being fixed.

Edge Distance and Spacing - Second Phase

The minimum edge distance is determined by the depth of the
adjoining slab.

min. 1.50 B

Local Reinforcement - Second Phase

A hole should be drilled no more than 5mm wider than the
dowel, to the depth shown in the table. Ancons two-part resin is
injected into the hole and the dowel is inserted.

Note: The longitudinal reinforcement assumes that the E-HLDs are positioned at one
metre centres.

Once the resin reaches full strength, the sleeve component is

pushed over the exposed end of the dowel. The required local
reinforcement is located around the sleeve, ensuring that the
correct cover is maintained. The concrete is cast to complete the
installation.

* In applications where movement needs to be accommodated,

please contact Ancon.
