Abstract
A leave-in-place forming system for concrete slabs and pavements that comprises a number of components including two or more of the following: a plate dowel for load transfer between adjacent concrete panels (joint stability), a divider plate, and an assembly or molding to finish the concrete to, that armors the joint and/or provides a water-tight seal to the joint. The joint assembly could incorporate an integral setting assembly or bracket or could be used with a re-usable setting bracket. The integral assembly or bracket is most suitable when it is desirable to place concrete to both sides of the joint assembly at the same time. The re-usable setting bracket is most suitable where concrete is placed to just one side of the assembly and it is desirable to re-use the setting assembly.
