Experimental investigation was conducted on corroded composite push-out specimens to study the behavior of shear studs subjected to fatigue loading. A total of eight standard EC4 push-out specimens were tested. The expected corrosion rate of test specimens ranged from 0 to 50%. The main purpose of these tests was to determine the fatigue life and the reduction effect caused by the corrosion on ...

New composite reinforced concrete beams, in which component is connected to steel T-section, are proposed. The stirrups of the beam were utilized as shear connectors by passing them through drilled holes web T-section. Experimental test and numerical analysis conducted determine behaviour such beams when subjected combined shear, torsion, bending stresses. Full scale one conventional curved pla...

In order to study the mechanical properties of stud connectors in lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC), finite element software ABAQUS was used establish push test models ordinary and LWAC, respectively. Through parameter analysis 21 models, influence different parameters on shear performance LWAC connector studied. Among them, strength, diameter strength have strong effects. Compared with con...
