Abstract
In the Eurocode the strength of dowel type connectors is
determined according to the theory of plasticity. When the loading
is in the grain direction the strength is well predicted by the
plasticity theory. However, when the loading is in the transverse
direction splitting may supervene plastic failure, as is shown in
test series on smaller specimens with slotted-in steel plates. The
scope of the present investigation is to trace the effect of
eccentric transverse loading of full scale connections with
slotted-in steel plates primarily loaded in the grain direction.
