Research on the Working Performance of Dowel Bar during Horizontal Installation Errors

Abstract:

Through the pullout test on dowel bar of different surface treatment modes and position deviation, the paper draws the conclusion that the plastic spraying treatment in different surface treatment modes can maximum meet the setting requirements of dowel bar, and the angular deviation of the dowel bar is the main reason for the cracking within the 50 centimeters of both sides of cement concrete pavement joint; Through the bending fatigue test, the paper evaluates the attenuation law of joint load transfer capacity under different horizontal installation error conditions(0°, 5°, 10° and 15°), and find that with the increase of dowel bar deviation angle, the initial joint load transfer capacity presents a rapid downward trend, and the performance of whole working period become worse and worse, when the angular deviation of dowel bar in the horizontal plane is not more than 5°, juncture load transfer capacity can still remain the medium level, which will not have too much influence on the working performance of dowel bar. Finally, the paper presents the looseness of dowel bar after 800,000 times of bending fatigue, and puts forward the control measures to avoid position deviation of dowel bar.
