Abstract: A construction element is for forming a connection between two parts of a building that are thermally insulated from one another. The element includes an elongate portion having a thermally insulating material, and configured to be placed between the parts of the building. Bars run through the thermally insulating portion and are configured to be anchored in the building parts that are to be connected and thus to absorb the tensile forces between the building parts. The element includes an insulating portion for absorbing compression and shear forces between the building parts. The bars include metal bars, as well as non-metallic bars formed of a thermally insulating material. The metal bars are configured to maintain the connection when the tensile force absorbed by the non-metallic bars is lost.

Abstract: A system for transferring loads across a joint between cast-in-place slabs, more particularly at crossover point of a joint between cast-in-place slabs, includes at least one dowel plate and joint elements and includes elements or abutments for limiting the relative movements of the dowel plate towards the joint elements along three orthogonal directions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device intended for establishing a connection between two adjacent slabs, preferably concrete slabs, by fitting the expansion joint found between the two slabs. The device takes the form of a metallic profile or two metallic profiles. The device is provided with load transfer elements such as projections or dowels arranged at a first defined height as well as anchoring elements arranged at a second defined height. The anchoring elements are arranged on either side of the profile(s), either alternating or opposite each other. The anchoring elements take the form of a flat sheet that has a distal portion and a proximal portion. The distal portion has an opening or a reservation allowing the passage of a positioning and maintaining device for fastening a positioning and maintaining device.

Abstract: A device equips an expansion joint between slabs in building constructions, in particular concrete slabs. According to a first embodiment, the device is made up of two profiles (3,4) that fit together in such a way that the elements passing through the joint between the slabs are discontinuous and have a bracket shape anchored by plate dowel anchors. According to a second embodiment, the device has a single profile, the lower part of which is bent alternately in one slab part and the other on each side of the joint.

Abstract: A metal joint for concrete slabs including means of separating the slabs and means allowing the horizontal movement of slabs relative to each other while avoiding vertical movement between the edges of the slabs, the metal joint comprising a first part incorporated in a first slab, comprising a vertical web with an upper edge and provided with a series of tenons which extend horizontally towards the exterior of the slab and a second part incorporated in a second slab comprising in its upper section a web with an upper edge and a series of mortise elements which extend towards the interior of the slab and are arranged opposite the tenons so that they can engage with each other, wherein the upper edges of the webs terminate at the top by an upper sharp edge strengthened by a cold-rolled fold so as to form a right angle on the outer side of the slab and a sharp edge with an acute angle in contact with the concrete of the slab thus forming a smooth upper surface and a sharp edge of the joint of the adjacent s

Abstract: A device for making a connection between concrete slabs, the device having two modules derived from sheets, each module having a number of flat elements which form projections, each module further having elements in the form of a right angle, having a flat part integral with projection, and a raised part, and longitudinal members between the raised parts, and wherein the modules are assembled in such a way that the raised parts and longitudinal members of the two modules are facing each other along the two sides of a center plane, and that the projections extend on both sides of the center plane, so as to form meshing projections which pass from one side of the joint to the other.
