Dowel Bars. Before delivery to the construction site each dowel bar shall be epoxy coated per ASTM A1078, Type 1, with a coating thickness after curing greater than 10 mils. Experimental concrete pavement containing variations in joint spacing, reinforcement, dowel sections, and joint fillers were used on Minnesota T.H. 36 to determine optimum design. Surface rating, South Dakota Profile Surface Rating (PSR), and Concrete Pavement Evaluation System (COPES) studies were performed to evaluate the
