Composite dowels are known as powerful shear connectors in steel-concrete-composite girders. More and more they are used in practice, especially for prefabricated composite bridges. Compared to headed studs they provide an increased strength. They also show a good deformation capacity even in high strength concrete. Furthermore, the application in...
Prefabricated steel-concrete composite systems have been used more often for bridges with small and medium spans. The safe transfer of static and cyclic shear forces in the composite joint can be efficiently ensured by composite dowels. Advantages are in particular the increased strength, the sufficient deformation capacity, even in high strength c...
The utilization of high strength steel and concrete results in two advancements: first, the lower dead loads of precast prefabricated elements and, thus, to significant advantages concerning the transportation, lifting and erection; and second, to more slender, wider spanning and more sustainable structures, provided that the increased static and c...
