The friction in the soil need to be able to resist the shear forces transferred by the foundation, otherwise the foundation will slide on top of the soil.
EK590
Shear lag effect is minimal in rolled sections, which have narrow and thick flanges and more pronounced in plate girders or box sections having wide thin flanges when they are […]
EK215
The discrepancies produced by shear lag are minimal in rolled sections, which have relatively narrow and thick flanges. However in plate girders, or box sections, having wide thin flanges the […]
EK200
When steel bars or rods are placed across the joint, shear forces can be transferred between elements by dowel action. The dowel is loaded by shear at the joint interface […]
EK199
Shear keys for the transfer of shear forces between elements are obtained by cast in-situ concrete or grout in joints between the elements with surface castellations. Under the action of […]
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.
EK181
In general, the horizontal forces are transferred between precast units by a combination of shear friction, aggregate interlocking, dowel action and mechanical welding. To resist these forces, it is necessary […]
