Explore All Products FIBERGLAS™ DOWEL BARS FIBERGLAS™ DOWEL BARS FOR LOAD TRANSFER Dowel Bars are used as a load transfer device between joints in concrete slabs. They provide a mechanical connection between slabs but allow for horizontal contraction and expansion of the slab itself. This results in lower deflections at the joints and reduced slab stresses. Owens Corning® Fiberglas™ Dowel Bars will not rust or corrode, meet shear capacity ASTM and ACI requirements and may reduce fatigue stresses in the surrounding concrete, due to the lower stiffness of the fiberglass dowels. These bars are also transparent and are frequently used in high-speed toll collection areas near inductance sensors. Applications Joined Rigid Pavement Automatic & Wire Guided Vehicle Areas Posts, Canals & Desalination Dowel Bar Retrofits High-Speed Tolling Areas Concrete exposed to Marine Chlorides Fiberglas™ Dowel Bars Fiberglas™ Dowel Bars Concrete pavements degrade due to the corrosion of steel dowel bars causing joint failure. Owens Corning® Fiberglas™ Dowel Bars are a proven, non-corroding, lightweight, electromagnetically neutral solution for load transfer between concrete slabs.

Explore All Products PROJECTS SUSTAINABLE, INNOVATIVE REBAR SOLUTIONS Halls River Bridge This initiative was led by the FDOT and includes members of academia, consulting engineers, and the Fiberglass Rebar (FRP/GFRP) suppliers and manufacturing community. Corrosion and extreme weather can lead to the collapse of conventional steel reinforced concrete. The Halls River bridge deployment is an example of how and why DOTs and engineers are choosing to reinforce structures such as bridge decks, piles, beams, seawalls and traffic railings that demand durability, strength and safety.
