Fiberglass Dowel Bars For Concrete Pavement Joints

Fiberglass Dowel Bars are used as a “Load Transfer” device between joints in concrete slabs such as:

-Contraction Joints

-Expansion Joints

-Isolation Joints

-Construction Joints

-Shear Dowels in MSE Wall

 

They provide a mechanical connection between slabs but allow for horizontal contraction and expansion of the slab itself

 

Fibergalss Dowel is our fiberglass dowelbar system. Fiberglass Dowel will never corrode and is just as strong if not stronger that its steel alternative. In construction of concrete slabs, expansion and contraction joints are purposely positioned in the slab where cracks in, or movement of, the slab will occur. Dowel bars restrain vertical movement between adjacent slabs, while permitting the slab to move horizontally. Steel bars are typically used with coating applied when environmental or project conditions require corrosion prevention.  Coating only forestalls corrosion while Fiberglass Dowel eliminates it.The material properties make it an electrical and thermal insulator. Fiberglass is also electromagnetically transparent, a valuable attribute in some applications
