Hi all.
I am looking for some ideas to provide nominal shear transfer across the vertical joint between an old and new concrete foundation wall. In this case it is a full-height residential ICF wall (basement and main level). The damaged section will be cut out and the new wall poured/butted against the end of the old wall. In the past I have used a roughened surface and/or rebar dowels but I have been trying to think of a way to improve the shear transfer with some kind of keyed joint.
TIA
