American Highway streamlines dowel design with advanced tools, customizing dowel basket dimensions for cost-effective, high-performance results in demanding environments. Our engineers use the proprietary Dowel Optimizer to calculate ideal dowel size, spacing, and performance, meeting safety standards and reducing installation costs while ensuring long-lasting durability under heavy traffic.
Load Transfer Findings
All dowel types transferred 80% – 90% of the load across the joints. Medium elliptical steel dowel bars were equally adequate, if not better than standard round dowel bars at
transferring load across the transverse joints.
