Abstract: A mechanical connector for securing a dowel rod to a frame of a dowel bar assembly as well as a dowel bar assembly are detailed. Each embodiment of the mechanical connector includes a portion to receive the dowel bar. A second portion of the mechanical connector engages the frame of the dowel bar assembly. A third portion of the mechanical connector engages a separate part of the frame further stabilizing the mechanical connector and frame.

Abstract: A dowel includes a corrosion-resistant sleeve, and a rod positioned within the sleeve. A sealant connects the corrosion-resistant sleeve and the rod. A method for constructing a dowel includes positioning a rod within a corrosion-resistant sleeve, and sealing the rod with respect to the corrosion-resistant sleeve.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel, and improved expansion joint and seal for use in sealing concrete expansion joints. In general the device is constituted of an elongate flexible seal member inclusive of an expandable loop portion from the non-closed sides of which a pair of alternately disposed downwardly projected leg portions are extended. The device also includes a pair of elongate side frames, each of which is attached to an alternately disposed downwardly projected leg portion of said elongate flexible seal member, and a removable, elongate top cap for affixing upon the loop portion of said elongate flexible seal member. The improvement relates to, inter alia, in said member, side frames which contain one or more pairs of inwardly sloped laterally aligned ribs which form longitudinal channels with relatively wide bottom surfaces with restricted surface outlets, the channel forming a means of tenaciously bonding plastic cement to said side frames to form a flexible seal.
