Design rules for the use of Composite Dowel
Abstract
This document gives design rules for composite dowels as shear connectors for composite members. It provides general rules for composite dowels in different shapes and specific rules for specifically shaped composite dowels. Shear connection by composite dowels consists of regular spaced steel connectors with concrete dowels in between. The steel connectors of composite dowels are cut out of hot-rolled steel plates, sections or bars and encased in reinforced concrete to achieve composite action between steel part and concrete part of the composite member. The composite member can be used in civil engineering construction under static, quasi-static and dynamic loads.
