Original Abstract

Possitions of dowels and tie bars in jointed unreinforced concrete pavements and the importance of their correct placement on pavement behaviour and lifespan was studied as a part of RD project of Technology Agency of the Czech Republic No. TA02031195 and TE01020168. Laboratory concrete beams with in-built dowels in different positions and strain gauges were prepared and exposed to cyclic loading. Another method concerned the modelling of stress state in the vicinity of in-built dowels by the FEM method in ANSYS software. The paper presents the resultes of modelling and performed experiments and makes conclusions which are important for practical usage.
