extensive searches if a problem is suspected. If a significant<br />

number of bars was determined to be missing, payment penalties<br />

could be assessed by this type of survey. In conclusion, missing<br />

dowels do not appear to represent a widespread problem on the<br />

inserter projects in this study, but should still be monitored on<br />

future projects.<br />

Other Brands of Dowel Bar Inserters: All of the data and<br />

conclusions in this study are valid only for the Guntert &<br />

Zimmerman dowel bar inserter used on the projects in this study.<br />

If a different brand of dowel bar inserter is used which differs<br />

greatly in design and operation from the Guntert & Zimmerman<br />

model, a thorough performance evaluation of the new machine will<br />

be essential. Performance with respect to any or all of the<br />

placement parameters discussed in this analysis could be widely<br />

different for a different machine.<br />
