Rebar dowel shear bar
Rebar dowel shear bar
(OP)
For rebar (say #4 or #5 bar) being used as a shear dowel for concrete floor deck, are the equations for shear capacity the same as anchor bolts? This is being used to transfer diaphragm forces to cmu shear wall. I attached a pic I found online. Thanks

I believe the concrete section itself would provide adequate shear in most cases with out the steel having to be being considered.
