Load Transfer

Our Products

Load Transfer

Load transfer is the ability of a joint or crack in concrete pavement to transfer load from one slab to the next through shear action. Load transfer influences the magnitude of deflections in the slabs under loading and the distribution of stresses in the slab.

Welded Dowel Assemblies

Welded dowel assemblies are steel dowel bars arranged in a frame spaced at proper intervals and at the midpoint of the pavement thickness. This device can address all of the problems inherent in adequately transferring the load from one pavement section to the next.

Dowel Bars

Dowel bars are short steel bars that provide a mechanical connection between slabs without restricting horizontal joint movement. They increase load transfer efficiency and reduce joint deflection and stress in the approach and leave slabs.

Tie Bars

Tie bars are deformed rebars or connectors used for holding faces of rigid slabs in contact to maintain aggregate interlock. Tie bars are not load transferring device.

Armour Coat

A coating system on dowels that is comprised of a flexible abrasion-resistant overcoat (ARO), that is a thermosetting epoxy powder coating engineered to be applied over a fusion-bonded epoxy corrosion resistant undercoating. This serves as an alternative to the commonly used steel and epoxy-coated dowels and is specified in long-life (40 to 100 year) pavement designs.

Elliptical Dowel

The main advantage of elliptical dowels over traditional round dowels is in the increased bearing area and the resulting reduction in bearing stress on the concrete.

Marking the mid-point on the dowel bars at the manufacturing plant adds a visual guide for placing the basket on the center of the transverse joints on grade. This alignment guide will also facilitate inspection in the field.
