On slide 35 the middle detail shows full development on a wall width, how is that possible with a typical wall width of 8" to 16"?

Michelle,

For shear dowel applications, you are correct that the limited concrete depth will not allow for the development of the post-installed rebar per ACI 318-14 Chapter 25.  An alternative approach to this scenario is to reference the Palieraki Method, which will look at shear friction theory in order to achieve development of hte rebar.  For more information on this method, feel free to reference the Hilti Post-Installed Reinforcing Bar Guide: https://submittals.us.hilti.com/PIR_Guide/#32

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,

Bryan
