An area of concern common to portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements is load transfer across joints and cracks. Three new and experimental dowel bar retrofit designs, that address the issues of high retrofit cost and corrosion susceptibility, were tested in an accelerated manner in order to determine the potential viability of their use for the restoration of load transfer in PCC pavements. Innovations in the three designs included the use of fiber reinforced polymer dowels, grouted stainless steel pipe dowels, and a change in the geometric configuration of the design. An evaluation of test results and recommendations, regarding the use of the designs for the restoration of load transfer in PCC pavements, are presented.

Effective load transfer across Portland cement concrete pavement joints significantly decreases pavement deterioration. Areas of concern with using dowel bars include high costs, due to the labor-intensive procedure of retrofitting, and corrosion associated with standard mild steel epoxy-coated dowels. This research addresses these problems by evaluating four dowel bar details tested in an accelerated manner. Retrofit testing was performed using mild-steel epoxy coated dowels and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) dowels. The details tested provide comparisons among dowel bar materials, depth of placement, number of dowels used, and dowel diameter. Verification testing of previously tested details is also presented.
