A method for making a plural-component, composite-material, highway dowel-bar including (1) preparing an elongate core train possessing endo-abutting, longitudinally alternating, (a) elongate, high-shear-strength, cylindrical cores having a common cross section, and (b) elongate, but shorter, cylindrical, fibre-reinforced plastic-resin end-plug blanks having opposite ends, and each having a cross section matching the cross section of the cores, (2) using the core train as a longitudinally moving mandrel, pultrusion-forming a fibre-reinforced plastic-resin sleeve continuously and bondedly around the core train so as to produce a pultrusion-result, intermediate, dowel-bar product, and (3) following pultrusion-forming, cross-cutting the intermediate, dowel-bar product at each longitudinal location therein which is intermediate the opposite ends of the end-plug blanks, thereby to form completed dowel bars. 1. A plural-component , composite-material highway dowel bar comprisingan elongate, cylindrical, steel core having a long axis, andan elongate, fibre-reinforced plastic-resin jacket covering the core, said jacket including an elongate, cylindrically tubular sleeve which is fibre-reinforced in plural, plastic-resin-embedded, fibre-differentiated, circumferentially-adjacent circumferential layers of fibres.2. The dowel bar of claim 1 , wherein the cover is a solid cylinder. This is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/033,461 filed Sep. 21, 2013, which is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/756,507 filed Jan. 31, 2013, issued as U.S. Pat. No. 8,591,139 on Nov. 26, 2013 which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/595,042 filed Feb. 4, 2012. The complete disclosures of each application are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties for all purposes.This invention relates to methodology focused on making a unique, plural-component, composite-material highway (especially concrete ...
