Abstract: An expendable concrete dowel placement apparatus comprising a concrete form and a dowel holder capable of quickly positioning a dowel perpendicular to the surface of the concrete form, thereby allowing the finished concrete slab to expand and contract relative to a control joint without the dowel causing the concrete to yield. The concrete form maintains a plurality of square or rectangular apertures which receive the dowel bar holders. Each dowel bar holder maintains a plurality of retention clips and a flange located at its open proximal end which positively positions the dowel bar holder within the apertures of the concrete form in a position perpendicular to the front surface of the central vertical member of the concrete form. The concrete form is composed of a non-typical shape which allows the control joint to transfer loads to adjoining concrete slabs through the length of the control joint.

Abstract: Joint forms for use in concrete slab formation. Such joint forms may be locked vertically and, if desired, laterally onto joint forms stakes by virtue of a number of aligned stake ear slots 26 and locking slots 28 which cooperate with corresponding ears and locking tabs on the stakes. The joint forms may include a number of stake retention slots aligned with the stake ear slots and locking slots, so that the stakes may be passed through portions of the joint forms in order to lock the forms laterally to the stakes as well as vertically so as not to separate from the stakes during concrete pouring.
