Dowel Bars

Dowel bars are cast or drilled into concrete and used to transfer loads across joints. In applications where movement is expected, the dowel bar is debonded on one side of the joint. Stainless steel dowel bars can be supplied in strength grades 250, 500 and 650, min 0.2% N/mm² Proof load.

Sizes & Strengths

Dowel bar is generally supplied with a 0.2% proof of 250 N/mm2 and a UTS of 500N/mm2. Higher proof strength of 500 N/mm2 and 650 N/mm2 are available.
