Dowel Bars are placed in the transverse joints of the concrete floor and they play a part in the transfer of partial shear load from a floor to adjacent floor. Dowel Bar also allows axial thermal expansion and contraction of the concrete slab along the shear axis.

Half of the length of this bar is embedded in one of the concrete slabs and the rest is adhered to the adjacent slab. One end of the rod is kept free for movement during expansion and contraction of the slab depending on temperature change.
