Any good resources on design of fiberglass dowels for slab-on-grade control joints?
I'm designing a plain concrete slab-on-grade that cannot have steel in it for grounding reasons.
I don't trust aggregate interlock, as the forklift loads will be pretty high.
Thanks y'all. I'm reading on unreinforced slab design now.
I might just come around to the idea of using fibers in the mix, just for shrinkage cracking.
Any further comments appreciated, but I think I'm set.

I have a new job, with a client doing some interesting high-voltage work. They need a fairly elaborate electrical grounding system in their slab-on-grade, and are very concerned about any steel in the slab. They are inquiring about fiber additives in lieu of rebar, but I'm not liking that idea...
