Concrete structures have been widely used for many years to resist impact loads. Steel–concrete composite may be considered efficient in the emerging modern construction field. Hence, main objective of this research was study behavior steel concrete slabs with different shear connectors and compare them conventional slabs. Seven specimens dimensions 500 × 50 mm were cast, which included plain c...

The use of Perfobond Leisten (PBL) shear connectors in building structures has attracted increasing interest. A new approach for using perforated steel plates concrete-filled tube (CFST) column splices was implemented this study. shape the perforation opening is generally a circle, similar to that PBL connectors. However, study, an oval-shaped used increase double area concrete. pull-out experi...

Composite steel/concrete beams may buckle in hogging bending regions. As the top flange of I-beam in that arrangement is restricted from any translational deformation and twist, the web will distort during buckling presenting a phenomenon often described as restricted distortional buckling. There are limited studies available in the literature of restricted distortional buckling of composite st...

Abstract Experimental and numerical studies are carried out to investigate the flexural behavior of precast lightweight composite beams composed a hollow steel beam strengthened with ferrocement layer. This comprises slender cold-formed section dimension (140 × 180 mm) different thicknesses surrounded by is named (FCH). Nine span 1500 mm were tested under four-point bending system evaluate thei...

Precast load-bearing shear wall panels are used extensively for high-rise construction because of the ease and speed of assembly, and the high quality of the precast panels. The connections between panels are extremely important since they affect both the speed of erection '~md the overall integrity of the structure. This paper presents the results of a four-year research program conducted to i...

The aim of this paper is to study the performance a composite floor system at different heat stages using artificial intelligence derive sustainable design and select most critical factors for elevated temperatures. In system, load bearing due action between steel concrete materials which achieved by shear connectors. Although connectors play an important role in transferring force from profile...

Steel–ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) composite beams offer numerous advantages, such as structural self-weight reduction, bending stiffness improvement, and tensile cracking limitation in slabs. However, few studies have focused on the shear performance of short stud connectors steel–UHPC structures. To this end, push-out tests were carried out to evaluate effect slab thickness, diamete...

This paper deals with the conception and characterization of an innovative connection for cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels. The connection is designed to provide an adequate level of dissipative capacity to CLT structures also when realized with large horizontal panels and therefore prone to fragile shear sliding failure. The connector, named X-bracket, has been theorized and designed by mea...

Class 5 flexible aluminum conductors are not common in cable manufacturing industry due to insufficient study on joints and connectors. The table of ampacities for at 110 °C AS/NZS3008.1.1 standards also available as a reference guide electrical system designers that restricts the installation low voltage (LV) cabling operate 90 conductor maximum operating temperature where cables permitted Aus...
