Product Description
This dowel is a 24‑inch long, 1/2‑inch diameter smooth steel bar designed to keep adjacent concrete slabs aligned while permitting expansion and contraction. It helps prevent vertical displacement at joints and improves load‑transfer performance in flatwork construction.
Description
The dowel is made from high‑strength smooth steel and cut to a precise 2‑ft length. The smooth surface allows the bar to slide within the joint, enabling slabs to move without binding. This reduces cracking, spalling, and uneven settling. It is typically used with dowel baskets, sleeves, or caps to ensure proper alignment and movement during concrete placement and curing.
