Hi
I have done very little precast design and I am designing some precast shear walls with large axial loads. The panels sit on a continuous grout bed and have steels dowels at each end.
What would be reasonable value to use for a coefficient of friction for ultimate loading? Can i also use the shear capacity of the dowels at the same time?
A value of 0.3 has been used for inital calculations but i would like to get some feedback on industry standards.
Many Thanks!
