74 Load Transfer Dowel Bars

75 Dowel Bars and Tie Bars

76 Dowel Bars

77 Dowel Bars Bradbury s analysis Load transfer capacity of a single dowel bar shear Bending Bearing

78 Bradbury s analysis P' = Load transfer capacity of a single dowel bar, kg d = Diameter of dowel bar, cm L d = Total length of embedment of dowel bar, cm δ = Joint width, cm F s = Permissible shear stress in dowel bar, kg/cm 2 F f = Permissible flexural stress in dowel bar, kg/cm 2 F b = Permissible bearing stress in concrete, kg/cm 2

79 Dowel bar design - Length The load capacity of the dowel bar in bending and bearing depend on the total embedded length L d on both the slabs Balanced design for equal capacity in bending and bearing, the value of Ld is obtained for the assumed joint width and dowel diameter using Minimum dowel length L = L d + δ

80 Dowel design - Spacing Load capacity of dowel system = 40% of wheel load Required load capacity factor = Effective distance upto which there is load transfer = 1.8 (radius of relative stiffness) Variation of capacity factor linear from 1.0 under the load to 0.0 at effective distance LOAD 1.8 L Design spacing = The spacing which conforms to required capacity factor

81 Dowel bars design details

82 Tie bar design Diameter & Spacing Area of steel per unit length of joint is obtained by equating the total friction to the total tension developed in the tie bars σ ts = Allowable tensile stress in steel A s = Area of steel per unit length of joint B = distance b/w the joint and nearest free edge h = Slab thickness γ c = Unit weight of concrete f = Coefficient of subgrade restraint (max 1.5)

83 Tie bar design Length Length of embedment required to develop a bond strength equal to working stress of the steel or σ ts = Allowable tensile stress in steel σ bc = Allowable bond stress in concrete A s = Area of tie bar L t P = Length of tie bar = Perimeter of tie bar d = Diameter of tie bar

84 Tie bars design details σ ts = Allowable tensile stress in steel = 1400 kg/cm 2 σ bc = Allowable bond stress in concrete = 24.6 kg/cm 2 for deformed tie bars = 17.5 kg/cm 2 for plain tie bars
