Product Description
A 3/4‑inch smooth dowel in a 24‑inch length is designed to keep adjacent concrete slabs aligned while permitting expansion and contraction. It prevents vertical displacement at joints and improves long‑term slab performance. It is typically sold individually as a new, plain‑steel dowel bar.
Description
This dowel is made from smooth, high‑strength 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 commonly used with dowel baskets, sleeves, or caps to ensure proper alignment and movement during concrete placement.
Smooth dowels are essential in flatwork construction because they maintain vertical alignment between slabs while allowing horizontal movement caused by temperature changes and shrinkage.
