Lateral load transfer for contraction joints
EZbasketW™ is designed to provide optimal load transfer in contraction joints in typical slab on grade applications. EZbasketW is strong, easy to use and is most efficient when used in tandem with the EZ Form® system.
The “W” shaped basket assembly is used for strategic reinforcement, which allows for consistent delivery of a serviceable slab. By utilizing the unique single wire, double bar plate with compressible center geometry and a factory applied release agent, the EZbasketW basket helps:
- Reduce carbon foot print (most sustainable product)
- Reduce callbacks
- Lower labor costs
- Optimize steel use
- Limit liability
- Deliver cost-effective slabs-on-ground
Features and benefits of EZbasketW:
- Limits differential deflection across joints to minimize joint spalling
- Single wire design strong and efficient.
- Double bars with compressible center.
- Provides immediate vertical load transfer with a thinly and evenly factory-applied debonding agent
- Minimizes restraint due to horizontal shrinkage
