DBB provides the best product, service and support for all of your dowel,

bar, basket needs. A dowel basket is a simple truss structure used to hold

dowel bars at the appropriate height before PCC placement. Typically,

dowel baskets span an entire lane width and are fabricated from thick

gauge wire. They are left in place after the PCC is placed but do not con-

tribute to the pavement structure.

When using dowel baskets, the dowels must be properly aligned and the

dowel basket firmly anchored to the base course. The FHWA recommends

that the dowel baskets be secured with steel stakes with a minimum di-

ameter of 8 mm (0.3 inches) embedded at least 100 mm (4 inches) in

stabilized bases, 150 mm (6 inches) in treated permeable bases and 250

mm (10 inches) for untreated bases or subgrade. Further, a minimum of 8

stakes per basket is recommended.

Retrofitting dowel bars is a method to reestablish load transfer across

joints or cracks. It requires cutting slots across each joint to house new

dowel bars.

The underlying purpose of retrofitting dowel bars is to repair faulted joints

or cracks and prevent recurrence of the faults. However, if the faulted

joints or cracks are already badly spalled, retrofitting dowels is not

recommended, and full- or partial-depth patching is necessary.

Load transfer refers to the ability of a joint to transfer a portion of a load

applied on one slab to an adjacent slab. The higher the load transfer, the

more evenly a load near a joint is distributed to the subbase and subgrade.

This usually translates into better pavement

performance. Poor load transfer generally leads to

faulting, pumping, corner breaks, or spalling.
