Dowel bars are short steel bars placed across joints in concrete pavements.
They help in load transfer between slabs and prevent uneven settlement.

Key Functions:
✔️ Transfer wheel load across joints
✔️ Reduce cracks and faulting
✔️ Maintain alignment of slabs

Used mainly in:
• Rigid pavements (highways, runways)
• Expansion & contraction joints

Simple concept but very important for pavement durability!
