A transverse construction joint in a concrete slab incorporates a coated smooth dowel positioned at depth T over two plus one inch, embedded across the joint with a one and a quarter inch expansion cap on one end. Detail 1 or 2 is called out at the top joint interface, aligning with the vertical joint line between the concrete placements. The smooth dowel is coated per specifications and provides load transfer while allowing horizontal movement across the joint. The slab thickness is designated as dimension T, locating the dowel precisely at mid-depth.
