Typically, one side of a dowel bar is coated to allow a dowel bar to move freely in a horizontal direction. However, the coating may induce a frictional force at the dowel–concrete interface and, therefore, a critical level of stress can develop in concrete surrounding the dowel bar at the joint tha...
