【 摘 要 】

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.
