shear friction reinforcement

[joncle10]

Hello, I am checking the reinforcement at the construction joint of a retaining wall.
Regarding the dowels which will be verified versus the shear friction, is the reinforcement Avf the total steel section of the cross section or the one located at the tension face ?

Kootk - nice link btw. I'm going to have to read through that. Looks like there is some diapharagm discussion in there too...

There's some GREAT precast diaphragm info in there. I really should have thought to post it back when you were asking precast diaphragm questions.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

KootK,
Do I have the right link? When I open it, I get an abstract for a "fib" bulletin which costs 180 Swiss Francs.

@Hokie: I'm afraid that's the one.
