(TU Delft Pavement Engineering) César, Andrés (University of Concepcion) Date 2022 Abstract Generally, joint performance in concrete pavements is evaluated in laboratory by applying dynamic loads that require large scale experimental setups. In order to propose a simplified laboratory test, a comprehensive literary review of the fundamentals of load transfer at joints is made, and the load transfer efficiency obtained via a reduced scale test is compared under static and dynamic conditions. The results confirm feasibility of static analysis via a reduced scale test for evaluating load transfer efficiency of non-dowelled concrete pavements.
