The load-slip relationship of the shear connection is an important parameter in design and analysis of composite structures. In this paper, a load-slip curve prediction method of the shear connection based on the artificial neural networks (ANNs) is proposed. The factors which are significantly related to the structural and deformation performance of the connection are selected, and the shear stiffness of shear connections and the transverse coordinate slip value of the load-slip curve are taken as the input parameters of the network. Load values corresponding to the slip values are used as the output parameter. A twolayer hidden layer network with 15 nodes and 10 nodes is designed. The test data of two different forms of shear connections, the stud shear connection and the perforated shear connection with flange heads, are collected from the previous literatures, and the data of six specimens are selected as the two prediction data sets, while the data of other specimens are used to train the neural networks. Two trained networks are used to predict the load-slip curves of their corresponding prediction data sets, and the ratio method is used to study the proximity between the prediction loads and the test loads. Results show that the load-slip curves predicted by the networks agree well with the test curves.

The CFRP bar was used to achieve more ductile and durable headed-stud shear connectors in composite components. Three series of push-out tests were firstly conducted, including specimens reinforced with pure steel fibers, steel and CFRP bars. The distributed stress was measured by the commercial PPP-BOTDA (Pre-Pump-Pulse Brillouin optical time domain analysis) optical fiber sensor with high spatial resolution. A series of numerical analyses using non-linear FE models were also made to study the shear force transfer mechanism and crack response based on the test results. Test results show that the CFRP bar increases the shear strength and stiffness of the large diameter headed-stud shear connection, and it has equivalent reinforcing effects on the stud shear capacity as the commonly used steel bar. The embedded CFRP bar can also largely improve the shear force transfer mechanism and decrease the tensile stress in the transverse direction. The parametric study shows that low content steel fibers could delay the crack initiation of slab around the large diameter stud, and the CFRP bar with normal elastic modulus and the standard reinforcement ratio has good resistance to splitting crack growth in headed stud shear connectors.

A flat plate-column connection is susceptible to brittle punching shear failure, which may result in the necessity of shear reinforcement. In present study, experimental tests were performed to study the capacity of slab-column connections strengthened with lattice, stud rail, shear band and stirrup under gravity and cyclic lateral load. Among them, the capacity of the specimens with lattice are superior to the others due to the truss action of the lattice bars and dowel action of the longitudinal bars as well as the shear resistance of the web re-bar. On the other hand, the strengths of the specimens with stud rail, shear band and stirrup are lower than the estimated strength by the ACI, therefore design formulas of the ACI are needed to revise.

Use of composite steel construction with precast hollow core slabs is now popular in the UK, but the present knowledge in shear capacity of the headed shear studs for this type of composite construction is very limited. Currently, all the information is based on the results obtained from experimental push-off tests. A finite element model to simulate the behaviour of headed stud shear connection in composite beam with precast hollow core slabs is described. The model is based on finite element method and takes into account the linear and non-linear behaviour of all the materials. The model has been validated against the test results, for which the accuracy of the model used is demonstrated. Parametric studies showing the effect of the change in transverse gap size, transverse reinforcement diameter and in-situ concrete strength on the shear connection capacity are presented.

강합성교량 상부 구조의 단면 단순화 경향과 더불어 프리캐스트 교량과 같이 전단연결재를 위한 전단포켓의 등간격 배치를 필요로 하는 전단연결부의 설계를 위해서 대직경 스터드가 제안되었다. 25mm 이상의 직경을 가진 스터드 전단연결재에 대한 push-out 실험 결과를 바탕으로 합성보에서의 거동을 평가하기 위하여 40% 합성정도를 가진 부분합성보를 제작하여 정적실험을 수행하였다. 전단연결재의 직경과 배치를 변수로 설계된 부분합성보의 극한 강도 및 수평전단력의 재분배를 평가하고 전단지간내의 스터드들의 그룹파괴를 확인하였다. 전단연결부의 강도가 부분합성보의 강도를 지배하기 때문에 이로부터 전단연결재의 전단강도를 평가하였는데 push-out 실험결과에 비해서 상당히 높은 수준의 강도 증가를 보여주었다. 하중-상대변위 곡선으로부터 대직경 스터드의 합성보에서의 충분한 연성과 하중재분배 능력을 확인하였다. 대직경 스터드를 적용하여 등간격 배치를 할 경우에 정적 거동에는 문제가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

RC 띠장과 철골 보의 스터드 접합부는 RC 띠장의 춤이 제한되므로 스터드의 인장 및 전단성능이 저하되어 접합부의 휨 및 전단 저항성능이 감소될 수 있다. 특히 RC 띠장-철골 보 접합부는 토압 및 수압에 의한 압축력을 받는다. 본 논문은 압축력과 전단력을 받는 RC 띠장-철골 보 접합부를 대상으로 접합연결재를 개발하기 위한 실험적 연구를 나타내고 있다. 본 연구에서 개발된 접합연결재는 개방형 C형 철근, 폐쇄형 C형 철근, U형 철근 등이다. 실험을 통하여 개발된 접합연결재를 사용한 접합부의 전단성능이 스터드 접합부와 비교된다. 실험결과에서 개발된 접합연결재가 RC 띠장 철골보 접합부의 전단강도를 증가시키는데 매우 효과적임을 나타내었다.

The headed studs those are used extensively for steel-composite construction is specified as SS400 at the current Korean Standard specification considering the welding condition. And the corresponding equation for the shear force calculation is limited for the use of compression strength of concrete below $300kg/cm^2$. However, it is expected that the high strengthening and precast of both steel and concrete due to the necessity of shear connector or other connecting material for the combination of steel and concrete. Therefore, the experimental results obtained during the development process of high strength stud for the connection of high strength concrete and the steel member are reported in this paper. Also the effectiveness of newly developed shear connector using pipe to increase the stiffness of a stud is verified by comparing both the stiffness and the strength with common stud bolt through the welding ability, mechanical characteristics and experimental investigation.

The fatigue fracture of studs is the main reason for failure of composite beams based on massive engineering practices. Hence, studying the laws of cracks initiation and propagation are of great directive significance. eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is an effective method in solving moving discontinuous problems in recent years. This paper extends our recent work on the fatigue damage analysis of stud shear connectors in the steel and crumble rubber concrete (RRFC) composite beams based on XFEM. The process of crack initiation to failure of the stud is simulated and an effective calculation criteria for the fatigue life of the composite beams is put forward. After the reliability of the numerical analysis is verified based on tests results, the extensive parametric study is conducted concerning effects of different rubber contents, shear connection degrees and the stress amplitudes. Results show that with the increasing rubber contents and shear connection degrees, the fatigue lives of composite beams increase obviously. Furthermore, the relationship between the fatigue life of the stud at the edge of the shear span and the whole composite beams is studied. Finally, the S-N curves of the single stud and the whole composite beams are put forward based on XFEM.

철도교는 강성이 주요한 설계인자이기 때문에 기존의 2거더 교량의 구조적 효율성을 높이기 위해서 이중합성 구조를 가진 철도교를 제안하였다. 일반적으로 강합성 연속교를 설계할 경우, 부모멘트 구간에 존재하는 콘크리트 바닥판은 인장에 저항하지 못한다고 가정하고 바닥판 단면을 무시하게 된다. 부모멘트 구간에서는 합성단면의 강성이 감소하게 되므로 이를 보완하기 위해 강재단면이 커지게 되는데, 이러할 경우 변단면의 적용이 불가피하게 되고 강합성형으로서의 장점이 반감된다고 할 수 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 다양한 접근법이 존재하지만 그 중에서도 경간을 확대하고 강성이 중요한 설계인자가 되는 경우에 적절하게 사용될 수 있도록 제안된 교량의 형태가 이중합성구조이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이중합성 전단연결부의 거동을 파악하기 위하여 수평스터드, 수평스터드와 수직스터드가 함께 배치된 복합스터드 부재에 대한 push-out 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과의 분석을 통하여 기존의 설계식과의 비교를 수행하고 정적 거동을 평가하였다.
