Smooth dowels are used in concrete to allow for expansion and contraction of concrete, which occurs when weather and moisture changes exist but keeps the concrete from lifting. In addition, smooth dowels play a crucial role in concrete applications by accommodating the natural expansion and contraction caused by weather and moisture fluctuations. By preventing the lifting of concrete, these dowels ensure the structural integrity and longevity of the project.
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.
