I have a question about the connection requirements for shear friction (concrete to concrete) versus shear studs (steel to concrete). Why is it that with shear studs they typically only need to be embeded into the concrete a couple of inches (2" +/-) while the requirements for shear friction connections (per AASHTO) require that hooked dowel bars be embeded a minimum of 6". Aren't they both doing the same job?
Thanks
