GFRP Dowel bar


Glass Fibre dowel bar

BlackBar™  GFRP Dowel Bar is used as a load transfer device between joints in concrete slabs. They provide a mechanical connection between slabs but allow for horizontal contraction and expansion of the slab itself. This results in lower deflections at the joints and reduced slab stresses. Joint failure is often the result of corrosion of the steel dowel bar.

Black Bar Glass Fibre Dowel Bar will not rust or corrode, meet shear capacity requirements and may reduce fatigue stresses in the surrounding concrete, due to the lower stiffness of the GFRP Dowels. These bars are also electromagnetically transparent and are frequently used in high-speed toll collection areas near inductance sensors.

Beyond Materials Group PTY LTD is a growing Australian manufacturer of  GFRP dowel bars and can meet your specification and quality requirements. From our factory in Queensland we manufacture and  ship our GFRP products Australia wide.
