Rib shear connectors are gaining increasingly attention in the field of composite constructions. Especially bridge constructions, rib offer many advantages compared to conventional such as headed studs. In order describe load-bearing behaviour under cyclic loading, successively increasing slip resulting from loading must be taken into account. The latter leads growth relative displacements alon...

In keeping with current demands for sustainable development in all segments of the industry, numerous research field steel-concrete composite structures has been focused on developing demountable shear connectors. past years, various connectors have suggested, mechanisms transferring force between a steel profile and concrete or slab. this paper, state art topic is given, experimental numerical...

The performance of tapered iron bolt (TIB) shear connectors and their feasibility to be used in demountable composite beams are investigated this study. typical TIB connector consists six components, i.e., a connecting bolt, conical plug, top covering plate, fixing retaining washer inner sleeve. expected 1) reduce the initial slip between concrete slab steel beam, which generally exists for ste...

A full-scale experimental program was used in this study to investigate the structural behavior of novel insulated concrete sandwich wall panels (SWPs) reinforced with grid-type glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) shear connectors. Two kinds of insulation-expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extruded polystyrene (XPS) with 100 mm thickness were incased between the two concrete wythes to meet the in...

Slab-girder structures composed of steel girder and reinforced concrete slab are widely used in buildings and bridges in the world. Their advantages are largely based on the composite action through the shear connection between slab and girder. In order to assess the integrity of this kind of structures, numerous vibration-based damage identification methods have been proposed. In this study, a...

An innovative horizontal-arranged shear stud was proposed for prefabricated composite beams, in response to the engineering demand accelerated precast decks construction on steel–concrete bridges. In order verify behavior of studs, a push-out test performed which two groups specimens were designed, and each group included three specimens. addition, finite element method based ABAQUS2020 softwar...
