Numerical Investigation of the Effects of Shrinkage and Thermal Loading on the Behaviour of Misaligned Dowels in Jointed Concrete Pavement
Dowel bars in jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) have the important function of transferring wheel loads from one slab to the other, hence ensuring that the deflections on each side of the joint are kept almost equal. As well, the dowels should not impede the concrete pavement movements due to e...
