Dowel load transfer systems for full-depth repairs of jointed Portland cement concrete pavements

A design procedure is proposed for dowel load transfer systems in full-depth repairs of jointed Portland cement concrete pavements. Design traffic levels and joint faulting specifications are input to determine maximum allowable bearing stresses in the dowel load transfer system. Adjustments for various levels of reliability, environmental considerations, and other local factors are also presented. This procedure is based upon analyses of the results of laboratory tests of single dowel systems, measurements of the performance of field installations, and the results of previous laboratory and field studies, as described below.
