American Highway Pioneers Innovation

Transforming concepts into impactful solutions that bring tangible value.

Product Innovation is considered as a clear differentiator for long-term growth and success. Innovation is already part of the strategic vision and value-defined, and there is a strong desire to make it part of everyone’s job. As good stewards of our country’s infrastructure, American Highway is dedicated to improving the design and performance of products that go into concrete pavements which will result in longer life and smoother roads.

Load Transfer Findings

All dowel types transferred 80% – 90% of the load across the joints. Medium elliptical steel dowel bars were equally ad­equate, if not better than standard round dowel bars at
transferring load across the transverse joints.

High Performance

Armour Coat™ high-performance dowel bar is a solid carbon steel round bar that utilizes a multi-layered fusion-bonded totally encapsulated epoxy powder system. Armour Coat dowels are typically specified in pavements that are classified as “long life” pavements that are designed to last from 50 to 100 years.

This guide provides a summary of the factors and design theories that should be considered when designing dowel load transfer systems for concrete pavement systems (including dowel basket design and fabrication) and presents recommendations for widespread adoption (i.e., standardization). Development of the guide was sponsored by the National Concrete Consortium with the goal of helping practitioners develop and implement dowel load transfer designs based on knowledge about current research and best practices.

Technical Data is essentially a document management system pertaining to the management of technical and engineering drawings and documents.

Corrosion Analysis

The ability for an epoxy coated dowel bar is dependent on the type of epoxy coating, the thickness of the epoxy, and the application process of the epoxy coating application. This report evaluates the corrosion process of a number of different laboratory specimens including a new generation of epoxy-coated dowel bars.
