• 91.080.40 Concrete structures

1.1 Scope of CEN/TS 1994-1-102 (1) 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. (2) Shear connection by composite dowels consists of regular spaced steel connectors with concrete dowels in between. The steel connectors of composite dowels are cut from hot-rolled steel plates, sections or bars, and encased in reinforced concrete to achieve composite action between the steel part and the concrete part of the composite member. (3) The composite member can be used in civil engineering construction under static, quasi-static and dynamic loads. It can be used in both hogging and sagging moment regions and also under hogging and sagging transverse bending. NOTE Figure 1.1 provides typical shapes of composite dowels. ... Figure 1.1 - Typical cross-sections of composite dowels 1.2 Assumptions (1) The assumptions of EN 1990 apply to this document. (2) This document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1990, EN 1991 (all parts), EN 1992-1-1, EN 1993-1-1, EN 1993-1-5, EN 1993-1-8, EN 1993-1-9, EN 1993-2, EN 1994 (all parts) and EN 1998 (all parts).
