Testing and numerical modelling of Steel-Concrete-Steel with stud bolts connectors subject to push-out loading
Authors
Abstract:
Steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich panels are composed of two steel plates with low thicknesses and high densities and strengths and one thick layer between both plates with low strength and density known as core that is composed of concrete. Cohesive material-epoxy resin or shear connectors are usually used to connect the plates to the concrete core. SCS sandwich composites are being developed to be used in offshore structures and buildings. Stud bolt is one of the shear connectors and their interlayer shear behavior is studied in the present study. To investigate the effect of parameters on interlayer shear behavior of steel-concrete-steel sandwich structure with stud bolt connectors, push-out test is performed under progressive loading.According to the tests performed, relations are proposed to predict ultimate shear strength and load-slip behavior of samples with stud bolt shear connectors.Then, numerical model of push-out test is presented on the basic component of Steel-Concrete-Steel sandwich structure (SCS) with stud bolt connectors. The results showed that finite element model is consistent with test results using mass scaling in Explicit Solver with a suitable analysis speed. Using the regression analysis on the results of 80 numerical models of push-out test,a relation was proposed for shear strength of push-out samples with stud bolt connectors.

The commercial finite element program LS-DYNA was employed to evaluate the response and energy absorbing capacity of cylindrical metal tubes that are externally wrapped with composite. The effects of composite wall thickness, loading conditions and fiber ply orientation were examined. The results demonstrate that a wrapped composite can be utilized effectively to enhance the crushing characteri...

This series of experiments aims to characterize the cyclic behavior of cold-formed steel (CFS) stud-to-sheathing connections. This connection provides the key energy dissipating behavior in wood sheathed CFS shear walls, and provides bracing to the studs under gravity and out-of-plane loads. A simple testing rig is developed consisting of two CFS lipped channels facing toe-to-toe connected on t...
