Perfobond rib connectors are widely used in composite structures to achieve the composite action between the steel and the concrete, and empirical expressions for their strength and secant stiffness have been obtained by numerical simulations or push-out tests. Since perfobond connections are generally in an elastic state in the service process and the structural analysis are always based on the elastic properties of the members, the secant stiffness is not applicable for the normal structural analysis. However, the tangent stiffness of perfobond connections has not been introduced in previous studies. Moreover, the perfobond connections are bearing tension and shear force simultaneously when the composite beams subjected to torque or local loads, but the current studies fail to arrive at the elastic stiffness considering the combined effects. To resolve these discrepancies, this paper investigates the initial elastic stiffness of perfobond connections under combined forces. The calculation method for the elastic stiffness of perfobond connections is analyzed, and the contributions of the perfobond rib, the perforating rebar and the concrete dowel are investigated. A finite element method was verified with a high value of correlation for the test results. Afterwards, parametric studies are carried out using the reliable finite element analysis to explore the trends of several factors. Empirical equations for predicting the initial elastic stiffness of perfobond connections are proposed by the numerical regression of the data extracted by parametric studies. The equations agree well with finite element analysis and test results, which indicates that the proposed empirical equations reflect a high accuracy for predicting the initial elastic stiffness of perfobond connections.

본 연구는 perfobond rib 전단연결재를 사용한 합성보의 정적거동 특성을 파악하기 위하여 perfobond rib 전단연결재의 push-out 실험과 perfobond rib 전단연결재를 설치한 합성보의 하중재하 실험을 실시하였다. Perfobond rib의 전단저항성능은 콘크리트 강도 증가에 의한 콘크리트 선단지지력 및 콘크리트 다웰의 전단저항 성능 증가로 콘크리트 강도에 비례하며 횡방향 철근의 휨변형 성능에 대한 제한으로 연성효과를 나타내는 상대슬립은 일정 콘크리트 강도이상에서는 증가하지 않았다. 합성보의 하중재하 실험결과, 합성보에 휨 하중과 휨 전단하중이 동시에 작용하게 되므로 rib 홀에 배치된 횡방향 철근과 콘크리트 다웰부의 전단저항에 따라 합성보 콘크리트 슬래브의 rib 홀의 위치에서 횡방향 균열이 발생하였으며, perfobond rib 배치방법에 따라 합성단면 경계에서의 상대변위로 강성전단연결재의 전단거동 특성을 확인하였다. Perfobond rib와 같이 합성보에 대한 전단저항 성능이 큰 강성 전단연결재의 경우 전단연결재에 의한 합성보의 거동이 변화하므로 합성보 단면설계시 이에 대한 고려가 필요하다.
