American DT™ Assembly
Plate dowel baskets for quick, safe installation and load transfer at saw-cut joints in new construction.
Plate dowel baskets for quick, safe installation and load transfer at saw-cut joints in new construction.
The American DT™ basket assembly is a more sustainable and cost-effective option, using less steel than single-taper baskets or traditional mesh. The American DT™ basket provides more steel at the sawcut joint interface where it is needed most for load transfer. Designers should consider the construction methodology and tolerances when choosing a double-taper or single-taper basket for a project. The American DT™ basket assembly requires precise basket positioning to ensure maximum steel at the joint interface. Project designs should incorporate the American Diamond™ system at formed construction joints.
American Highway streamlines dowel design with advanced tools, customizing dowel basket dimensions for cost-effective, high-performance results in demanding environments. Our engineers use the proprietary Dowel Optimizer to calculate ideal dowel size, spacing, and performance, meeting safety standards and reducing installation costs while ensuring long-lasting durability under heavy traffic.
