American DT™ Assembly (Flatwork)

Plate dowel baskets for quick, safe installation and load transfer at saw-cut joints in new construction.

American DT™ Assembly (Flatwork)
Product Description

Double tapered plate dowel baskets for saw-cut contraction joints

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.
