SUPERIOR DESIGN ADVANTAGES OF THE ADJUSTA JOINTLOCK SYSTEM

• The Adjusta JointLOCK System provides the ultimate high strength rigid connection across concrete construction joints, equivalent to continuous rebar in a monolithic structure.

• The structural engineer has the certainty of specifying a rigid connection, without the risk of creep movement and strength reduction of re-straightened bars in pull-out starter bar systems, or anchorage slip and concrete shear cone failure of screw-in ferrule connector systems.

• The JointLOCK System is engineered with matched load load bearing components providing the equivalent strength to carry 100% capacity of N16 reinforcement bar for axial tensile stress, flexural stress, bending moments and shear forces. JointLOCK Technical Data Sheet TDS401.

• The JointLOCK System can be specified in any configuration of starter bar spacing and position at central or top and bottom of slab to suit the structural design and construction requirements.

• The system utilises a unique double loop Hook Bar anchorage that does not cause shear cone pullout and rupture of the concrete, and does not create slip, creep or deformation at the construction joint under ultimate design loads.

• Up to 90% time and labour savings can be achieved over alternate connection methods, based on typical floors using jump-form construction.

• Simple installation ensures cost and time efficient provision of rebar anchorage, connection and starter bars, with ease of inspection for project quality assurance.

• Standard and customised specifications and connection scheduling formats for construction documentation.

• Capacity to carry greater loads than alternate reinforcement connection methods. For further details review the Connection System Performance Comparison TDS439.

• Certified for compliance to benchmark ASTM and ISO standards for mechanical splices A1034M.

• Repeated specifications by Australia’s premier engineering consultants and design & construction companies as the connector of choice.
