IDEAL JOINT SYSTEM ® has been carefully designed and developed to offerengineers, specifiers and contactors the most innovative construction joint in the flooring industry today.The IDEAL JOINT SYSTEM ® will distribute load transfer evenly allowing horizontal, and lateral movement betweeneach independent section of the slab-on-grade.Fig.10Fig.11Detail of Ideal Joint System ® installed and ready for the concreteplacementDetail of Ideal Joint System ® ready for the next placement of concrete .03

A fixed dowel bar system does not allowany bidirectional movement of adjacent slabs-on-grade (Figures 17a & 17b). The patented PVC connector playsseveral roles in the IDEAL JOINT SYSTEM ® . First, the PVC screw connector is the assembly element for the twoindependent steel forms separating the actual slabs-on-grade. Secondly, it is a guide for the dowel bar to slidecomfortably through the metal forms into the PVC oval shaped dowel sleeve protector. Once the concrete hashardened the hydration and early concrete stresses will snap the external connection frame of the PVC guide, leavingthe joint free for movement (Figures 14a & 14b). Once the horizontal, vertical and lateral movement begins the internalconnection framework of the PVC connector will collapse, allowing total independent movement (Figures 15a & 15b).Fig. 14aFig. 15 aSections of the PVC oval shaped dowel sleeve protector.dowel barBreak pointFig. 14bFig. 15 bOnce the horizontal, vertical and lateral movement beginsthe internal connection framework of the PVC connectorwill collapse, allowing horizontal movement.dowel bar04
