Performance Properties of GFRP Dowels in Concrete Pavement Joints Li Yunliang1,2,a, Li Luoke1,b ,Tan Yiqiu1,Xue Zhongjun3 1School of Transportation Science and Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology,Harbin 150090, P.R.China 2Post-doctoral Research Center in Civil Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology,Harbin 150090, P.R.China 3Road Administration of Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport, Beijing 100053, P.R.China aliyl-hit@163.com, bllk217@126.com Keywords: GFRP dowels, Maximum shear forces, test, cyclic load Abstract: Dowels are used in jointed plain concrete pavements to provide lateral load transfer across transverse joint through shear force, effective load transfer at lateral joints can reduces stresses in the slabs.
Steel dowels are generally used in engineering practice, but corrosive substance such as carbon chloride ions ,dioxide can free access and easily dispersed along the length of the steel dowels, therefor rapid corrosion can occur which can lead to premature failure of the transverse joint.
Glass fibre-reinforced polymers (GFRP) have been used as dowel bars recent years in order to ravel out the corrosion problems of commonly used steel dowels in engineering practice[2].

Research on Stress-Strain relationship model of Concrete Prism Confined by GFRP Jiao Xueying Civil Engineering & Architecture Department of Liaoning University of Technology, Jinzhou ,121001, China jiao-xy@sohu.com Keywords: GFRP; concrete prism; stress-strain relationship; model.
There are a vast number of tests on GFRP reinforcing concrete column around the world, but most trials are based on circular section column as study object, while rectangular cross-section columns are more common in engineering, then it is more practical to study the constitutive relation and mechanical behaviors of prism confined by the GFRP sheets.

These types of contractors have limited financial capacities, and are often unwilling to purchase engineering insurances and insurance for workers in order to reduce cost.
At present, the price of most engineering insurance in Taiwan is calculated as a fixed percentage of the insured amount.
The contractors are inclined to purchase more engineering insurances, and more compensation should be provided in the case of a fatal accident.
