SYSTEM FOR TRANSFERRING LOADS BETWEEN CAST-IN-PLACE SLABS

摘要

A load plate (900) for transferring loads between a first cast-in-place slab(102-1) and a second cast-in-place slab (102-2) separated by a joint (104). The load plate (900) having a substantially tapered end having substantially planar upper and lower surfaces adapted to protrude into and engage the first slab (102-1), and the load plate being adapted to transfer between the first and second slabs (102) a load directed substantially perpendicular to the intended upper surface of the first slab (102-1). A blockout sheath (1600) embedded within the first slab (102-1) could also be included. The blockout sheath (1600) could have a substantially planar top surface and a substantially planar bottom surface substantially parallel to the upper surface of the first slab (102-1).
