Dowel bars are short steel bars that provide a mechanical connection between slabs without restricting horizontal joint movement. They increase load transfer efficiency by allowing the leave slab to assume some of the load before the load is actually over it.
Two Sizes of these dowels are available. Choose either 18" or 23.6" rebar dowels. Made from 10mm rebar, they can be used to dowel into existing concrete. Vinylester or fiberglass rebar can be tied to the dowel for a structural hold.
