Bolts

When a new layer of concrete or mortar is applied to existing concrete to strengthen or repair a structure, a critical aspect of these situations is the transfer of internal stresses through connection elements between the new and existing concrete.

Ribbed or helical steel dowels are practical methods for establishing connections, promoting the effective transfer of forces between the existing and new elements.

The production and design of CORTARTEC dowels are tailored to each project’s specific requirements, and are available in ribbed, smooth, or threaded rods—made of carbon steel with various corrosion-resistant coatings, such as painted, galvanized, or epoxy-coated finishes. Or in stainless steel of various alloys.
