Combined Shear-Tension Loading of Composite Dowels in Cracked Concrete—Experimental Investigations and Design

The importance of slim decks has led engineers to the exploration of high-strength materials and also of innovative shallow shear connectors, such as composite dowels in the case of composite constructions. Minimizing the overall slab depth often leads to composite girders being weakened by means of...
