WHY COMPOSITES? Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) dowel bars offer advantages over traditional steel or epoxy- coated steel bars: • Electromagnetic transparency: ideal for high- speed toll roads to prevent interference • Corrosion resistance: the GFRP material will not rust or corrode in salt or alkaline environments • Light weight: less than one-third the weight of steel • Does not bond to concrete: eliminates the need for sleeves or grease to allow for expansion and contraction Glasforms™ composite dowel bars are tested and approved to meet the following requirements: • ASTM 1356 Glass Transition Temperature • ASTM D570 Water Absorption • ASTM 2344 Short Beam Strength • ASTM 7617 Transverse Shear Strength Glasforms™ Composite Dowel Bars for Concrete Pavement Construction APPLICATION OVERVIEW WHY GLASFORMS PULTRUDED COMPOSITES?
