Description
High-Quality Dowel Basket for Concrete Reinforcement
Dowel basket, play a crucial role in concrete reinforcement, providing joint stability, efficient load transfer, and smooth slab-to-slab transitions. As a cost-effective assembly and ensure that adjacent slabs remain aligned and perform effectively under load-bearing conditions.
Benefits:
Proper installation and offers several advantages, including:
- Improved Joint Stability: For hold dowel bars securely in place, ensuring a reliable connection between adjacent concrete slabs.
- Enhanced Load Transfer: By evenly distributing loads, dowel baskets help prevent stress concentration and pavement failure.
- Minimized Joint Spalling: A well-installed dowel basket reduces spalling, eliminating tripping hazards and maintaining the integrity of the pavement surface.
- Improved Joint Filler Appearance: Correct alignment of dowel baskets ensures smooth and aesthetically pleasing pavement joints.
Dowel Basket Specifications & Placement Guidelines
For optimal performance, must be installed with precision. Key specifications include:
Size & Dimensions
- Length: Available in various sizes to match different project requirements.
- Diameter: Offered in multiple diameters to suit structural needs.
- Spacing: Typically set at 12 inches apart, ensuring effective load distribution.
Installation Considerations
- Each dowel basket must be placed parallel in the horizontal plane during placement and finishing operations.
- Proper alignment is critical. Baskets should be attached to the subgrade at a 90-degree angle to the pavement edge.
- Dowel bars within the basket should not be positioned closer than 12 inches from any joint intersection.
Surface Coating Options.
To enhance durability and prevent corrosion, our dowel baskets and bars are available in multiple finishes:
- Self-Finish: Standard plain steel for typical applications.
- Hot Dip Galvanized: Provides excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for harsh environments.
- Epoxy Coated: Prevents rusting and extends the service life of dowel assemblies.
Applications:
These baskets are widely used in various construction projects, including:
- Concrete pavements and roadways
- Airport runways and taxiways
- Bridge decks and structural joints
- Industrial flooring and warehouse slabs
- Parking lots and heavy-load-bearing surfaces
