Dowel-bar in the jointed concrete pavement has been designed and constructed by Foreign standard and experience in Korea. Timoshenko solution was evaluated for dowel bar design. However, various assumptions, Timoshenko solution evaluated only single dowel bar. Therefore, This study object is evaluated the guide line dowel size and arrangement that using the 3Dimensional Finite Element Method. Dowel bar behavior, Timoshenko solution and 3D FEM estimated used result. Dowel allowable stress and Friberg bearing stress estimated using result. The effects of Dowel Group Action were analyzed using Timoshenko range and Friberg range and 3D FEM.

Dowel bar in the jointed concrete pavement has been designed and constructed by Foreign standard and experience in Korea. The behavior of dowel bar is explored based in analyze of 3-Dimension Finite Element Method. To evaluate behavior of dowel bar compared Timoshenko theory and 3-Dimensional Finite Element Method. Based on the 3-Dimension Finite Element Method analyze the dowel-bar optimum position that can reduce deflections of slabs by considering wheel path distributions was suggest in this study.
