CONSTRUCTION GRADE: Made from plain grade 60 steel with saw cut ends, our smooth dowels for concrete are great for contractors and can be used for a variety of industrial applications (ASTM A36 Steel). Allows the concrete to expand & contract with temperature changes.
EFFECTIVELY TRANSFER LOADS BETWEEN ADJACENT CONCRETE SLABS: Prevents cracking and joint faulting, this is particularly important in concrete pavements, which are subject to heavy traffic loads. The saw cut ends provide better bond between the dowel and the concrete
MAINTAINS JOINT ALIGNMENT: Prevents concrete slabs from moving independently. This helps to ensure that the joints remain aligned, even as the concrete slabs expand and contract due to temperature changes and traffic loading.
PREVENT CRACKS from forming at joints in concrete slabs for improved durability and longevity.
ALLOWS CONCRETE SLABS TO EXPAND AND CONTRACT INDEPENDENTLY of each other, while still transferring load between the slabs, thus reducing the chances of cracking and joint faulting.
IDEAL FOR A VARIETY OF CONCRETE PROJECTS: Pavements, bridges, buildings, foundations, and retaining walls.
