The transfer of shear forces between adjacent concrete slabs is of utmost importance for the load-bearing behaviour and therefore the durability of a concrete traffic area. A dowel bar retrofit is one way to ensure this load transfer from one slab to the other.
STABILITY FOR NEW AND EXISTING CONSTRUCTION.
APPLICATION
Dowel bar retrofit for subsequently produced expansion joints
METHOD
Cutting parallel slots
Removing existing concrete from slots and cleaning them
Installing joint formwork, the mortar bed and dowel bar
Surface finish with epoxy resin mortar
Marking the dowel bar position
