When the pull on the bar is small, high stresses develop near the loaded end of the bar; some slip of the bar occurs as adhesion between the bar and […]
EK527

EK196
Shear forces between adjacent precast concrete components can be transferred through bond, interface joint friction, interlocking by shear keys, dowel action of transverse steel bars or rods.
