Why is shear key provided in the bridge or retaining wall?
Shear key is provided to increase the resistance to sliding. The shear key extends below the bottom of the base and is usually an extension of the vertical stem. The primary goal of shear key installation is to increase the extra passive resistance developed by the height of the shear keys.
