b. Write down its limitations.
9. Check the adequacy of dowel bar system for a concrete pavement using the following
data.
Slab thickness = 33 cm
Joint width = 2 cm
Radius of relative stiffness = 103.53 cm

Percentage of load transfer =40
Grade of concrete to be used = M40
Diameter of dowel bar = 32 mm
Spacing of dowel = 32 cm
Modulus of dowel/concrete interaction = 41500 kg/cm
