Title:
MAXIMUM BEARING STRESS OF CONCRETE IN DOWELED PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENTS (WITH DISCUSSION AND CLOSURE)
Accession Number:
00637671
Abstract:
Hundreds of numerical calculations were conducted using the component model developed recently to test the accuracy of existing design procedures. It has been found that the maximum bearing stress of concrete, under the critical dowel, cannot be accurately predicted by the "effective length" assumption that is currently used in engineering analysis. A detailed discussion to analyze the potential problems and the causes of the problems is presented. Errors in computed values of maximum bearing stress can also affect the prediction of joint faults in pavement performance models.
