The paper combines two distinct parts. First the behavior of welded headed studs with small diameters of 10 and 13 mm acting as shear connectors (which are not embraced in current standards) is studied. Based on standard push tests the load-slip relationships and strengths are evaluated. While the current standard (Eurocode 4 and AISC) formulas used for such studs give reasonable but too conservative strengths, less conservative and full load-slip rigidities are evaluated and recommended for a subsequent investigation or design. In the second part of the paper the partially encased beams under bending are analyzed. Following former experiments showing rather indistinct role of studs used for shear connection in such beams their role is studied. Numerical model employing ANSYS software is presented and validated using former experimental data. Subsequent parametric studies investigate the longitudinal shear between steel and concrete parts of the beams with respect to friction at the steel and concrete interface and contribution of studs with small diameters required predominantly for assembly stages (concreting). Substantial influence of the friction and effect of concrete confinement was observed with rather less noticeable contribution of the studs. Distribution of the longitudinal shear and its sharing between friction and studs is presented with concluding remarks.

프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판 교량의 적용이 2거더 교량이나 개구제형 강박스 교량으로 확대되고 있다. 소수거더교에 프리캐스트 바닥판 교량의 적용에서 가장 어려운 점은 완전합성을 확보하기 위해 필요한 전단연결재의 배치이다. 좁은 영역에 많은 연결재를 배치해야 하기 때문에 프리캐스트 바닥판의 단면 손실이 커서 철근의 배치가 어렵게 된다. 이 논문에서는 현재 설계 기준에서 제시하고 있는 스터드 전단연결재의 최소 간격보다 좁은 연결재 간격을 가질 경우의 극한 강도 특성을 정적 실험을 통해 평가하였다. 실험결과로부터 최소 간격보다 좁은 간격으로 배치할 경우에 현재의 설계기준 강도보다 낮은 극한 강도를 발현하는 것으로 나타났고 프리캐스트 슬래브의 보강 혹은 포켓부의 부분보강의 효과로 인해 강도 증진이 나타났다. 그룹 스터드 전단연결부의 설계는 연결재 전단강도와 콘크리트 슬래브의 강도의 상대적인 비로부터 파괴모드를 예측하고 연결재 파괴를 유도할 수 있도록 이루어져야 한다. 실험결과로부터 스터드 간격을 고려한 그룹 스터드 전단연결부의 극한강도에 대한 경험식을 제안하였다. 피로실험을 수행한 결과로부터 이 연구의 실험범위내에서는 그룹스터드 전단연결부의 피로강도 감소가 나타나지 않는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 연구결과를 활용하여 프리캐스트 바닥판의 상세를 개선하였다.

Casting Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) on an orthotropic steel deck and forming a composite action by connectors could improve the steel deck fatigue performance. This study presents the mechanical performance of a proposed post-combination connection between UHPC and steel, which had a low constraint effect on UHPC shrinkage. A total of 10 push-out tests were conducted for static and fatigue performance investigations. And the test results were compared with evaluation methods in codes to verify the latter's applicability. Meanwhile, nonlinear simulation and parametric works with material damage plasticity models were also conducted for the static and fatigue failure mechanism understanding. The static and fatigue test results both showed that fractures at stud roots and surrounding local UHPC crushes were the main failure appearances. Compared with normally arranged studs, group arrangement could result in reductions of static stud shear stiffness, strength, and fatigue lives, which were about 18%, 12%, and 27%, respectively. Compared with the test results, stud shear capacity and fatigue lives evaluations based on the codes of AASHTO, Eurocode 4, JSCE and JTG D64 could be applicable in general while the safety redundancies tended to be smaller or even insufficient for group studs. The analysis results showed that arranging studs in groups caused obviously uneven strain distributions. The severer stress concentration and larger strain ranges caused the static and fatigue performance degradations of group studs. The research outcome provides a very important basis for establishing a design method of connections in the novel post-combination steel-UHPC composite deck.

In this paper, a hollow steel tube (HST) shear connector is proposed for use in a slim-floor system. The HST welded to a perforated steel beam web and embedded in concrete slab. A total of 10 push-out tests were conducted under static loading to investigate the mechanical behavior of the proposed HST connector. The variables were the shapes (circular, square and rectangular) and sizes of hollow steel tubes, and the compressive strength of the concrete. The failure mode was recorded as: concrete slab compressive failure under the steel tube and concrete tensile splitting failure, where no failure occurred in the HST. Test results show that the square shape HST in filled via concrete strength 40 MPa carried the highest shear load value, showing three times more than the reference specimens. It also recorded less slip behavior, and less compressive failure mode in concrete underneath the square hollow connector in comparison with the circular and rectangular HST connectors in both concrete strengths. The rectangular HST shows a 20% higher shear resistance with a longer width in the load direction in comparison with that in the smaller dimension. The energy absorption capacity values showed 23% and 18% improvements with the square HST rather than a headed shear stud when embedded in concrete strengths of 25 MPa and 40 MPa, respectively. Moreover, an analytical method was proposed and predicts the shear resistance of the HST shear connectors with a standard deviation of 0.14 considering the shape and size of the connectors.

A perforated shear connector group is commonly used to transfer shear in steel-concrete composite structures when the traditional shear stud connection is not strong enough. The multi-hole perforated shear connector demonstrates a more complicated behavior than the single connector. The internal force distribution in a specific multi-hole perforated shear connector group has not been thoroughly studied. This study focuses on the load-carrying capacity and shear force distribution of multi-hole perforated shear connectors in steel-concrete composite structures. ANSYS is used to develop a three-dimensional finite element model to simulate the behavior of multi-hole perforated connectors. Material and geometric nonlinearities are considered in the model to identify the failure modes, ultimate strength, and load-slip behavior of the connection. A three-layer model is introduced and a closed-form solution for the shear force distribution is developed to facilitate design calculations. The shear force distribution curve of the multi-hole shear connector is catenary, and the efficiency coefficient must be considered in different limit states.

본 연구는 강-프리스트레스 콘크리트(PSC) 혼합구조 보를 분절형 교량에 적용하기 위해 필수적으로 요구되는 이종 부재간의 연결에 대한 기초연구로써, 연결부 거동과 시공성을 향상시키기 위해 연결부 상․하부 플레이트에 perfobond rib 전단연결재를 설치한 강-PSC 연결부를 제안하였다. 제안된 연결부가 설치된 보 실험체들을 제작하여 하중재하실험을 통해 연결부의 성능을 확인한 결과, 모든 실험체에서 연결부의 파괴 없이 연결부 인접 PSC부에서 실험체의 파괴와 극한강도가 나타났다. 합성 작용에 의하여 실험체의 초기 강성은 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 균열의 진전 형상도 전형적인 휨 균열 형상을 나타내었다. 또한, 기존 스터드를 적용한 실험체 이상의 강도를 얻을 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 제안된 연결부는 혼합구조 연결부에 효과적으로 적용 가능하다고 판단된다.

Free vibrations of steel-concrete composite beams are analyzed by using the dynamic stiffness approach. The coupled equations of motion of the composite beams are derived with help of the Hamilton's principle. The effects of the shear deformation and rotary inertia of the two beams as well as the transverse and axial deformations of the stud connectors are included in the formulation. The dynamic stiffness matrix is developed on the basis of the exact general solutions of the homogeneous governing differential equations of the composite beams. The use of the dynamic stiffness method to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a particular steel-concrete composite beam with various boundary conditions is demonstrated. The accuracy and effectiveness of the present model and formulation are validated by comparison of the present results with the available solutions in literature.

This paper evaluates the effective width of composite steel beams with precast hollowcore slabs numerically using the finite element method. A parametric study, carried out on 27 beams with different steel cross sections, hollowcore unit depths and spans, is presented. The effective width of the slab is predicted for both the elastic and plastic ranges. 8-node three-dimensional solid elements are used to model the composite beam components. The material non-linearity of all the components is taken into consideration. The non-linear load-slip characteristics of the headed shear stud connectors are included in the analysis. The moment-deflection behaviour of the composite beams, the ultimate moment capacity and the modes of failure are also presented. Finally, the ultimate moment capacity of the beams evaluated using the present FE analysis was compared with the results calculated using the rigid - plastic method.
