To verify the effectiveness of uplift-restricted and slip-permitted (URSP) connectors in alleviating crack formation negative-moment region steel-concrete composite beams (SCCBs) improve engineering adaptability URSP connectors, this paper proposes a modified (MURSP) connector. Static load tests theoretical analysis were conducted on two overhanging with MURSP ordinary studs to analyze influenc...

In this research in-plane shear Behavior of composite steel-concrete shear walls was investigated considering the Effects of steel plates thickness, spaces between shear studs, shape and type of shear studs and existing of minimum reinforcement in wall section. Several finite element models were analyzed and Numerical results of two models were taken under verification with existent experimenta...

Fatigue design of composite girders and in particular shear connectors according to Eurocode 4 is based on fatigue strength curves. Therefore, the lifetime a girder can be limited by failure critical connector. The probability component thus determined one stud or dowel, although an internally highly statically indeterminate system with possibility redistributing forces connection. This paper o...

Currently, steel reuse is only a marginal practice. To facilitate deconstruction and efficient of components, an innovative connection system was proposed. This adopts ‘Block Shear Connector (BSC)’ that allows beam length to be standardised suitable for wide range different sizes the supporting members within same planning grid. paper presents experimental numerical studies beam-to-beam using B...

Abstract Steel-concrete composite beam is a typical construction which made up of two dissimilar materials such as steel and concrete. It used mainly for commercial/residential high-rise buildings bridges. From last few decades steel-concrete structure has been utilised in industry due to several advantages reduced time cost major the avoidance one issues present era, space scarcity. Shear conn...

Steel plates in double skin composite (DSC) panels are restrained by a concrete core and welded stud shear connectors at discrete positions. Local buckling of steel plates in DSC panels may occur in a unilateral mode between stud shear connectors when subjected to combined states of stresses. This paper studies the local and post-local buckling strength of steel plates in DSC panels under biaxi...
