Dowel Bars In Shear
Dowel Bars In Shear
(OP)
Dear all,
I have a cast concrete section against which I am casting fresh concrete. I wish to form a shear connection between the two using steel pins drilled and grouted into the cast section and acting in shear across the joint
Is the shear capacity of the joint :
a) equal to the shear strength of the steel dowel bar cross section at the joint.
b) Bearing capacity of the concrete where the dowel bar is in contact with the concrete.
c)bursting stresses in the concrete.
or is it a combination of these effects/
Thanks in advance

EPCON has table with generic capacity in tension and shear of the inserts from which you can build interaction the UBC-94 way.
HILTI gives free program for the calculation.
