Steel Edge Nosing Data Sheet

HD Steel Edge Nosing

Heavy-duty joint edge protection and integrated load

transfer in a single assembly

High-traffic industrial floors and pavements require

precise load transfer, smooth slab-to-slab transition

and joint protection. All of these requirements are met

with the HD Steel Edge Nosing assembly.

A complete assembly includes the steel nosing,

studs, dowel plates and full-depth channel for joint

installations. The leave-in-place design eliminates

conventional slab edge forming costs.

The nosing prevents joint spalling and reduces repair

costs in high-traffic areas, like warehouses and

loading docks. Concrete expansion and contraction

takes place as the steel plate slides within the sleeve.

The installation conforms to ACI 302.1R Guide for

Concrete Floor and Slab Construction and ACI 360

Design of Slabs-on-Ground.

For high performance extended joint slabs

that open more than 3/8” such as cold storage

facilities, consult with SureBuilt or concrete slab

engineer for solution before ordering.

1. Check sub-grade for levelness and grade. Set

string line along the edge nosing path and position

the first length of HD Steel Edge Nosing. Ensure the

plastic sleeves go on the side where the first concrete

pour will occur.

2. Insert stakes through the welded clips attached to

the HD Steel Edge Nosing separation plate. Hammer

the stakes into ground until they are 2 inches below

the top of the joint. Additional staking and bracing

may be required to keep sections steady during the

concrete pour.

3. Adjust the height of the joint until it is level and at

the required slab depth. Turn the stakes 90 degrees

using a shifter to lock the joint in place.

4. The HD Steel Edge Nosing length has a lap joint at

either end used to bolt the separate lengths together.

Ensure a 1/8” gap is left between each length. This

allows for the lateral movement of the joint. Repeat

the process for each section until the desired length

is achieved.

5. Install any required concrete reinforcing. Pour the

concrete ensuring vibration along the joint at regular

intervals. The top of the HD Steel Edge Nosing rails

can be used to screed along.

6. After the first pour has set, remove any additional

staking. Place the dowels through the separation

plate slots into the sleeves in the first pour before

pouring the second pour. Dowels should be placed

within 36 hours of the first pour.

The overlaps can be cut off in field and used as fillers at the end of the other 2 sections.

Weld filler to adjacent steel strip and weld corners in field.
