 Design of Dowel Bars

Step1 Inputs
Design load transfer = 40 %
Slab thickness = 20 cm
Joint width z = 2 cm
Permissible flexural stress in dowel bar fs = 1400 Kg/cm2
Permissible bearing stress on concrete fc = 100 Kg/cm2
Permissible shear stress in dowel bar fs' = 1000 Kg/cm2
"K" Value of sub-base = #REF! Kg/cm3
Other Concrete parameters
L = 3.0E+06 Kg/cm2
u = 1.0E-07 oC
Step2 Dowel Length
Assuming Dowel diameter d = 2.5 cm
Length of embedment of dowel bar
0.5
r = 5d
fs r +1.5z 1 r3 + 17.6 r2 - 2187.5 r
fc r + 8.8z
= 40.4658 cm a = 1
Length of Dowel Bar = r + z b = 17.6
c = -2187.5
L = 42.4658 cm d = -6562.5
say L = 45 cm
f = (3c/a)-(b2/a2)
Step3 Load transfer capacity of single dowel 3
Load transfer capacity of single dowel bar in shear g = (2b /a )-(9bc/a2)+(27d/a)
3 3

P = 0.785 x d2 x fs' 27
= 4907 kg
Load transfer capacity of single dowel bar in bending h = -4E+08
 P = 2 x d3 x fs / r + 8.8z
= 754 kg i = (g2/4-h)0.5
Load transfer capacity of single dowel bar in bearing
P = ( fc r2 d ) / 12.5 x (r + 1.5z) J = i1/3
= 754 kg
k = arc cosine(-(g/2i))
Design value for load carrying capacity of single dowel
P = 754 kg L = J x -1

Step4 Capacity factor M = cosine(K/3)

Load carrying capacity of Dowel system = 40% of Wheel load
= 2000 kg N = sqrt(3) x sin(k/3)
Required capacity factor = 2.60
P = (b/3a) x -1
Step5 Spacing of Dowel bars
For X1 = 2j x cosine (k/3) -(b/3a)
k = #REF! Kg/cm2/cm l = 76.24 cm X2 = L x (M + N ) +P
Effective distance of load transfer = 1.8l = 137 cm X3 = L x (M - N ) +P
Assuming spacing of dowel bars = 25 cm
Available capacity factor
= 1 + ### - 25 + ### - 50 + ### - 75
### ### ###
= 2.9 > 2.60 OK
Adopt spacing of Dowel bars = 25 cm

Provide 2.5 cm dia mild steel dowel bars of length 45 cm @ 25 cm c/c

Design of Tie Bars

Step1 Inputs
Slab Thickness h = 20 cm
 Slab width b = 3.35 m
No of lanes to be tied = 2 nos
Coeff. of friction betn pavement & subgrade f = 1.5
Weight per m2 of concrete slab W = 480 kg
Allowable working tensile stress in steel S = 1400 Kg/cm2
Maximum permissible bond stress in
Plain tie bars = 17.5 Kg/cm2
Deformed bars = 24 Kg/cm2

Step2 Diameter & spacing of Tie bar

Area of steel required per m width of joint
As = ( b f W ) / S = 1.72 cm2
Assuming dia of tie bars d = 10 mm
Cross-sectional area of one tie bar A = 78.55 mm2
Perimeter of tie bar P = 31.42 mm
Therefore, No of Tie bars required per m N = 2.19 nos
Spacing of Tie bars = 46 cm

Step3 Length of Tie bars

Length of Tie bars
For Plain Tie bars = ( 2 S A ) / B P = 40 cm
For Deformed bar = ( 2 S A ) / B P = 29.2 cm
Adding Tolerence about = 5 cm

Length of Plain Tie bars = 45.0 cm

Length of deformed Tie bars = 35.0 cm
