Shear Loads for Rebar Dowels in Normal-Weight Concrete
  1. Allowable load must be the lesser of the load based on concrete edge distance or steel strength.
  2. The allowable loads based on concrete edge distance are based on a safety factor of 4.0.
  3. Allowable loads must be decreased by 12 percent for short-term loading due to wind or seismic forces.
  4. Refer to allowable load adjustment factors for spacing and edge distance.
  5. Refer to In-Service Temperature Sensitivity chart for allowable load adjustment for temperature.
  6. Anchors are permitted to be used within fire-resistive construction, provided the anchors resist wind or seismic loads only. For use in fire-resistive construction, the anchors can also be permitted to be used to resist gravity loads, provided special consideration has been given to fire exposure conditions.
