BS EN 13877-3:2004 PDF Download

The BS EN 13877-3:2004 standard provides specifications for dowels that are used in the construction of cast-in-situ concrete pavements for various trafficked areas such as roads and airfields.

The standard outlines the requirements that these dowels must meet in order to ensure the durability and longevity of the concrete pavements. It covers aspects such as the dimensions, material properties, and surface characteristics of the dowels. This ensures that the dowels have the necessary strength and compatibility with the concrete in order to effectively transfer loads and provide adequate load transfer between adjacent pavement slabs.

The standard also addresses the installation and alignment requirements for the dowels, including the use of proper drilling and insertion techniques. It specifies the tolerances for positioning and alignment to ensure precise and consistent placement of the dowels within the concrete pavement.
