GRPF DOWELL BARS
Dura Composite GFRP Dowel Bars serve as load transfer mechanisms between joints within concrete slabs. They establish a mechanical linkage between slabs while accommodating horizontal expansion and contraction of the concrete itself. This feature reduces deflection at joints and minimizes stress on the slabs. Unlike steel dowel bars prone to corrosion, Dura Composite Glass Fibre Dowel Bars are corrosion-resistant, ensuring longevity and meeting shear capacity needs. Their lower stiffness compared to steel counterparts may also diminish fatigue stresses in surrounding concrete. Additionally, these bars are electromagnetically transparent, making them suitable for high-speed toll collection areas near inductance sensors.
Beyond Materials Dura Composite is an emerging Indian manufacturer of GFRP dowel bars, committed to meeting your specifications and quality standards. Operating from our facility in Queensland, we supply our GFRP products across India.
