In this study, push – out test specimen is proposed to explore the behavior of shear connectors in timber–concrete composite beams. Since there are no standard shapes and dimensions for determining strength connectors, push–out specimens such as those used steel-concrete beams suggested study timber concrete Four tested. Two these with one connector per side. The other two load slip recorded du...

Abstract In this work, a study on failure by concrete pry-out in Crestbond shear connectors is presented. The study’s aim was the development of an expression that estimates connection’s bearing capacity. analyses were carried out through numerical simulations designed to reproduce referred mode. Numerical and experimental results are compared discussed relation maximum force reached cracking a...

This paper investigates the behavior of a new form V-shaped shear connector. The assessment proposed connector’s performance is conducted through an experimental work fourteen push-out tests. results show that developed connector able to transfer higher load than conventional connectors. In addition, its considered as ductile. Geometrical parameters are studied observe their influence on behavi...

When the tip of a hair bundle is deflected by a sensory stimulus, the stereocilia pivot as a unit, producing a shearing displacement between adjacent tips. It is not clear how stereocilia can stick together laterally but still shear. We used dissociated hair cells from the bullfrog saccule and high-speed video imaging to characterize this sliding adhesion. Movement of individual stereocilia was...

This paper introduces a proposal for the SP 266.1325800 code update, which is applied as national building composite structure design in Russian and some CIS countries. The based on deep codes analyze comparison previous authors’ publications. research dedicated to nailed shear connectors’ behavior beams with profiled sheeting. provides less conservative approach ductile connectors takes into a...

The structural integrity of precast concrete buildings depends mainly on the connections between the precast structural components. Large precast concrete panels are used extensively in North America for low, medium, and highrise construction due to their ease and speed of assembly, and high quality control. This paper presents the results of twenty-two prototype specimens tested to investigate...

© 2012 IBRACON There are many problems involving cases of destruction of buildings and other structures. The columns can deteriorate for several reasons such as the evolution and changing habits of the loads. The experimental phase of this work was based on a test involving nine reinforced concrete columns under combined bending and axial compression, at an initial eccentricity of 60 mm. Two co...
