Dowel baskets contribute to better performance of concrete joints, increase load transfer efficiency, minimize issues such as pavement cracking, and increase the structure’s overall longevity. Triumph Construction Supply knows the many uses and benefits of dowel baskets and offers epoxy-coated, painted, or plain dowel baskets for your convenience.
Mechanics of Dowel Baskets
According to the Federal Highway Administration, dowel baskets are the most common type of device used for load transfer in concrete projects.
Dowel baskets work by transferring wheel loads from one slab of pavement to the next, providing a mechanical connection between slabs without restricting horizontal joint movement. This allows each concrete slab to assume part of the load as the wheel moves from one slab to the next. Dowel baskets ensure a level surface for vehicles and airplanes and prevent future concrete joint issues such as pumping, faulting, loss of support, and corner breaks.
