Taper Dowels | Concrete Construction Joints
Taper Dowels are diamond-shaped load transfer system for concrete joints. Notably, the size and diamond-shape of the Taper Dowel provides concrete joint stability, load transfer and smooth slab-to-slab transition, without restraining floor movement.
How Taper Dowels work: the plastic sleeve is nailed to lumber edge forms before concrete placement and the steel plate slides into the sleeve after forms are removed in preparation for the adjoining slab.
Benefits of Taper Dowels: the plastic sleeve allows movement and the steel plate provides maximum bearing, bending and punching resistance, without the risk of slab interlock common with other methods.

Dowel Installation Instructions Provided by SureBuilt
1. Mark the horizontal line on formwork for the half slab thickness. Mark a vertical line for the center-to-center spacing of the sleeve. They should be carefully aligned so they remain parallel in a horizontal plane. Fasten all sleeves securely at each marked location. Position and tie any remaining slab reinforcement. Sleeves should be no closer than 6” to the intersection of any joints.
2. Place concrete normally, completely surrounding each sleeve location. Vibration is required to properly consolidate concrete and eliminate air entrapment. Do not strike or damage sleeves with the vibrator.
3. When concrete reaches sufficient strength, the adjoining slab base can be leveled and compacted. Insert the steel plates into the sleeves by puncturing the cover strips. The plates should be completely inserted into the sleeves.
4. Position, support and tie any remaining slab reinforcement. The adjoining concrete can now be placed against the edge of the first and the exposed steel plates. Place concrete normally, completely surrounding each plate dowel.
Square Dowels | SureBuilt | Concrete Construction Joints
Square Dowels provide an alternate style load transfer system for concrete joints. The size and rectangular-shape of the Square Dowel provides concrete joint stability, load transfer and smooth slab-to-slab transition, without restraining floor movement.
How Square Dowels Work: the plastic sleeve is nailed to lumber edge forms before concrete placement and the steel plate slides into the sleeve after forms are removed in preparation for the adjoining slab.
Benefits of Square Dowels: the Square Dowel simplifies dowel installation, eliminates slab edge drilling and reduces labor costs for all types of ground level concrete slabs, including floors, flatwork and pavement.

Steel Edge Nosing | SureBuilt | Concrete Construction Joints
Joint edge protection and precise load transfer in a single assembly. High-traffic industrial floors and pavements require precise load transfer, smooth slab-to-slab transition and joint protection. All of these requirements are met with the Steel Edge Nosing assembly.
A complete assembly includes the steel nosing, studs, dowel plates and full-depth channel for joint installations. The leave-in-place design eliminates conventional slab edge forming costs.
How Steel Edge Nosing Works: The nosing prevents joint spalling and reduces repair costs in high-traffic areas, like warehouses and loading docks. Concrete expansion and contraction takes place as the steel plate slides within the sleeve.
Benefits of Steel Edge Nosing: the installation conforms to ACI 302.1R Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab Construction and ACI 360 Design of Slabs-on-Ground.

Dowel Sleeve – Construction Joint Type | SureBuilt | Concrete Expansion Joints
Dowel Sleeve – Construction Joint Types are sed with lumber edge forms to position smooth dowels at construction joints.
Positioning smooth dowels with lumber edge forms is easy with the plastic Dowel Sleeve and Nailing Plate. The plate is attached to the form at the required spacing and the sleeve is pushed onto the plate before concrete placement.
How Dowel Sleeve – Construction Joint Types Work: when the lumber edge forms are removed, a smooth steel dowel is placed into each sleeve for the adjoining concrete slab. The plastic Dowel Sleeve holds each dowel in proper horizontal alignment for the best possible load transfer between sections.
Benefits of Using Dowel Sleeve – Construction Joint Types: Normal concrete expansion and contraction takes place as the smooth steel dowel slides inside the plastic sleeve.

Dowel Sleeve – Expansion Joint Type | SureBuilt | Concrete Expansion Joints
Dowel Sleeve – Expansion Joint Types are used with stay-in-place expansion board to position smooth dowels. Positioning smooth dowels with leave-in-place expansion boards, like cedar or polypropylene, is easy with the Dowel Sleeve.
How Dowel Sleeve – Expansion Joint Types Work: expansion boards are predrilled to the proper hole size and spacing to meet specifications. Once the predrilled boards are in position, the sleeves are quickly snapped into place. Integrated collar tabs keep each sleeve in position and perpendicular to the board face.
Benefits of Dowel Sleeve – Expansion Joint Types Work: The plastic sleeve holds each smooth steel dowel in proper horizontal alignment for the best possible load transfer between concrete pavement sections. Normal concrete expansion and contraction takes place as the smooth steel dowel bar slides inside the sleeve.

What is the CSI (Construction Specifications Institute) Masterformat??
- The CSI MasterFormat is a coding system for document organization for construction related documents including construction design specifications, contracts, construction documents and other materials.
- The CSI uses specific numbers and titles that make up a universal indexing system.
- MasterFormat is also a publication created and maintained by the Construction Specification Institute (CSI) and Construction Specifications Canada (CSC). Notably, the CSI is widely used in the construction and operation of buildings and systems in many industries and projects, from healthcare and public infrastructure to educational structures and commercial. residential construction.
- Advantages of Using CSI’s MasterFormat:
- Improved communication between project groups, by for example, the design and construction teams. CSI allows all team members to refer to specific sections of any document using the universal coding system. This facilitates coordination and communication between project owners, architects, contractors, and suppliers, minimizing the time spent organizing documents.
For industries with complex operations, such as health care, MasterFormat helps communicate and organize critical operational information among designers, builders, operations managers, and facility owners. In addition, as these and many other industries are increasingly using building information modeling, or BIM, MasterFormat can be used by modeling software to enhance data interoperability and improve BIM adoption.
