This heavy duty dowel serves the transmission of high shear forces in building joints and with this enables free movement in the longitudinal and transverse direction to the dowel axis. Through the stiff anchoring body it is particularly suited for the connection of thin structural components.

The Schöck Dorn type SLD-Q (heavy duty dowel) consists of a sleeve part and a dowel part, which are concreted into the respective building components adjacent to the joint. The dowel transmits the loads from one structural component through bending in the sleeve and thus into the other structural component. With this, the welded-on stirrups and the front plate ensure an optimum anchoring of the concrete. The sleeve of the Schöck Dorn type SLD-Q has a rectangular tube allowing the round dowel to move in the axial direction and transversely. This enables the transmission of vertical forces in the joint and simultaneous moveability in all horizontal directions. This prevents constraints due to temperature deformation and shrinkage.
