Common terms and products used when
reinforcing concrete.
Dowel bars are smooth round
bars, used to join concrete
and provide a reinforced
connection between slabs that
are next to each other.
A dowel combines them but allows
the slabs to move independently.

Tie bars are deformed
rebars or connectors
used to interconnect
the faces of rigid slabs.
Tie bars are not used as
load transferring like
dowels.

Rebar provides more
reinforcement,
especially for concrete
that might support a
great deal of weight.

Steel mesh is commonly used
in reinforced concrete slabs
such as
pavements, precast panels, warehouses
and industrial shed slabs, tilt-up slabs,
driveways and patio slabs.
