ABSTRACT
Main aim of this paper is to present extensive experimental investigation and define different load-bearing mechanisms, in cases when FRP shear dowels were provided as the reinforcement crossing the interface. More precisely, research was focused on use of non-corrosive GFRP (Glass-Fibre Reinforced Polymer) rebars as durable alternative to commonly used steel dowels, with a potential to significantly reduce life-cycle costs connected with maintenance of the structures.
