Description / Abstract:
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 dowel
shall consist of a steel core covered by an organic coating.
The coated dowels shall be one of the two following types:
Type A—The coating material develops sufficiently
low-bond strength with concrete that a bond breaker is not
required.
Type B—The coating material develops bond strength with
concrete such that a bond breaker is required. The type of bond
breaker used shall be as recommended by the coating
manufacturer.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard.
