Shear Capacity of Slab Dowels
Shear Capacity of Slab Dowels
(OP)
I am working on a project with a post-tensioned concrete podium slab over concrete shearwalls. I am trying to check the shear capacity of the slab to wall dowels, but I did not see anything in ACI. Should I be using Appendix D?
Thanks for any advice!

One thing I would change about your detail is to remove the longitudinal key. I don't see how it can do any good, and could lead to cracking of the outside part due to slab shortening.
If you are still concerned about longitudinal shear transfer, some transverse shear keys might help.
