As figure A 2 shows the slab with only 2 inches of concrete cover between dowel and surface performed as well as the slab with 3 inches of cover for
There s no generally accepted rule of thumb as to how to space rebar in a concrete slab There are many variables that influence the decision of how much space to leave including the maximum load the slab is likely to have to support the bearing capacity of the soil the diameter of the reinforcing rebar the likelihood of frost heaving the slab and whether or not the slab is

tensile pop out failure of the concrete All dowel types provided deflections well less than the typically accepted value of 0 010 when loaded to 1500 lb per dowel typical load for 10 000 lb axle load on a 6 slab with dowel spacing at 24 on center Deflections
2014 3 5 nbsp 0183 32 Dowel bars Dowel bars are steel bars generally round in shape and are used in the expansion joints which are provided in the concrete pavements rigid pavements to allow the expansion of the concrete slab The main function of the dowel bars is to transfer the wheel load from one slab to the adjacent slab through the shear and bending moment
2018 10 5 nbsp 0183 32 Dowel bars Dowel bars are placed at the transverse joints of concrete pavement and they take part in partial wheel load transfer from one slab to its adjacent slab The dowel bars also allow axial thermal expansion and contraction of the concrete slab along the axis

Concrete Construction January 2007 3This is the strength recommended by ACI 302 1R 04 for steel troweled floor slabs and hard wheeled traffic 2 Subgrade The modulus of sub grade reaction for the base and soil sup port system is 150 pounds per cubic inch
One should always place the dowel bar in the mid center of the concrete surface vertically Specific guidance may vary on application but generally installers place rebar 12 inches apart from one another Placing the dowel rebars any closer could overstress the concrete slabs damaging them Most retrofitting projects require adding the dowel

2021 9 8 nbsp 0183 32 A dowel bar is a short steel bar often installed in concrete slabs The use of dowel bars in concreting projects provides for mechanical connection without restricting horizontal movement Dowels are strong enough to reduce joint deflection and stress to add to the effectiveness of concrete slabs
Design size and spacing of dowel bars at an expansion joint of concrete pavement of thickness 25 cm Given the radius of relative stiffness of 80 cm design wheel load 5000 kg Load capacity of the dowel system is 40 percent of design wheel load
include dowel spacing edge protection concrete curling and reinforcement all of which are subject matter listed in the available standards Once the joint design is established it is imperative that the contractors of industrial floor slabs
Exact Spacing spaces bars at exactly entered centers Calculated from either end towards the middle with middle space adjusted smaller to fit Add all outside side lengths to find the total Slab Perimeter Or enter side lengths to draw the shape with the Concrete and Rebar calculator to auto calculate Concrete Volume and Rebar
Note short dowel length and long spacing as compared to typical dowels sing plate dowels in slabs on ground for shear load transfer at the joints offer many advantages over the traditional round dowels By using plate dowels compressible material or a pocket

IS 6509 1985 2 6 Expansion Joint The joints provided in a pavement at suitable intervals so as to relieve compressive stresses and prevent buckling during expansion of concrete in slabs 2 7 Joint Filler The compressible material used to fill the gap
Dowel bars are used in the construction of jointed concrete pavements to provide load transfer which is vital to long performance Misaligned or improperly placed dowels may cause poor joint performance resulting in pavement distresses such as cracking spalling
Plate Dowels – Widely Used in Floor Slabs Now being used in some parking areas industrial pavements Accommodate some differential movement longitudinally along the joint Greater concrete bearing area less stress Can be effectively used in
This prevents them from bonding to the concrete and allows adjacent slabs to move horizontally while the dowel bar remains in place to provide load transfer Dowel Bar Spacing and Alignment In order to serve their load transfer function properly dowel bars need to be correctly positioned
