A basic assumption in shear friction method is that a crack will form at a potential failure plane where direct shear stresses are high or at actual planes of weakness […]
EK198
Shear transfer by shear friction requires the presence of a permanent normal compressive force. The force may arise from permanent gravity loads, by prestressing or artificially induced by reinforcement bars […]
EK195
Combined action by shear friction and dowel action can be obtained if the dowels are anchored by bond or by end anchorages.
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 […]
