2、oated Dowel Bars AASHTO Designation: M 254-06 (2015) 1. SCOPE 1.1. This specification covers the materials, manufacture, and installation of coated dowel bars to be used where corrosion-resistant performance is essential and may be used in lieu of stainless or other approved noncorrosive metals. The

3、 dowel shall consist of a steel core covered by an organic coating. 1.2. The coated dowels shall be one of the two following types: Type AThe coating material develops sufficiently low-bond strength with concrete that a bond breaker is not required. Type BThe coating material develops bond strength

4、with concrete such that a bond breaker is required. The type of bond breaker used shall be as recommended by the coating manufacturer. 1.3. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. 2. REFERENCED DOCUMENTS 2.1. AASHTO Standards: M 255M/M 255, Steel Bars, Carbon, Hot-Wrought,

6、 3. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 3.1. The coated dowels shall resist corrosion and degradation caused by roadway deicing materials and normal highway debris. 3.2. The coating shall develop low-bond strengths with portland cement concrete without a bond breaker, if Type A, or with the proper bond breaker, if

7、 Type B. 3.3. The coating shall resist wear due to abrasion resulting from pavement expansion and contraction. 3.4.

In the event there is any change in material composition or geometrics of the joint support system, any or all parts of th

9、e dowels and assembly are subject to retesting. The frequency of qualification testing will be determined by the purchasing agency. 3.7. The processing facilities of the manufacturer and the fabricator shall be open to inspection by the agent of the purchaser at all times during the manufacturing an

10、d fabricating of the material. 3.8. A minimum of 24 dowel bars shall be made available for testing. Of these, a maximum of six bars may be in a basket assembly. 4. MATERIALS 4.1. The core material shall be made of steel meeting the requirements of M 255M/M 255. The grade shall be as specified by the

11、 purchasing agency. 4.2. The coating material shall be of organic composition with the exception of the pigment, which may or may not be present, and which may have an inorganic composition. Note 1The Type B coating material may be one of the types recommended in Report No. FHWA-RD-74-18 or other ty

12、pes approved by the purchasing agency. 5. DIMENSIONS 5.1. The core metal shall be 31.8-mm (11/4-in.) diameter or as specified by the purchasing agency. 5.2. The nonabraded thickness of the Type A coating shall be 0.64 0.13 mm (25 5 mils). The nonabraded thickness of the Type B coating shall be 0.18

13、0.05 mm (7 2 mils). 5.3. Coating thickness shall be determined according to ASTM G12 or by stripping the coating from the bar. 5.4. The dowels shall be supplied to lengths and in support assemblies or baskets as specified by the purchasing agency. 6. PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS 6.1. The free ends of the d

14、owels shall be saw cut and free of burrs and projections. 6.2. Dowel coatings shall be free from contamination, perforations, cracks, and holidays (pinholes not visually discernible). Checking for holidays shall be performed by the electric-resistance process. A 67.5-V holiday detector shall be used

15、, as recommended by the manufacturer of the test equipment, for the determination of holidays. 6.3. Any damage that results from welding or mechanical fixation to achieve a fixed-end condition shall not extend more than 25.4 mm (1 in.) in from the weld or point of fixation. 6.4. Welding to achieve a

16、 fixed-end condition shall be sufficiently strong to maintain dowel alignment under the forces imposed by concrete placement and construction practices. 6.5. When tested in accordance with T 253, the dowel bars shall have the following properties: 2015 by the American Association of State Highway an

Load DeflectionThe relative deflection shall not exceed 0.25 mm (0.10 in.) at the 1815-kg (4000-lb) load for any of the three specimens tested. 6.5.2. PulloutThe maximum pullout l

18、oad shall not exceed 1360 kg (3000 lb) for any specimens, and no specimen shall show any corrosion, tears, or perforation due to the pullout and subsequent freeze-thaw testing. 6.5.3.

21、of corrosion products of steel at the anodes except that such hydrogen evolution or corrosion products at the intentionally cut 6.4-mm (1/4-in.) holes will not be considered as basis for rejection. However, no undercutting shall be permitted during the remainder of the test period at the intentional
