Strength of Shear Connectors in Compusite Steel and Concrete Beam Specimens |
| Abstract |
The strength of stud shear connectors in steel and concrete composite beams have been derived through the push-out test or beam test. Of the two, push-out test method is generally used because of the simplicity and convenience of experiments. But, in push-out test, stud shear connectors have stress distribution different from beam test. Therefore, it is necessary that the applicability of a stud strength formula derived from push-out test in this study, to design of composite beam, is investigated. |
