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.

This paper summarizes the results of push-out test specimens with a new type of shear connector called ㄱ type perfobond rib. This connector is a flat steel plate with a number of holes punched through and strengthen rib's head part. According to experiment result, ㄱ type perfobond rib shear connector appeared that resistance force is increased than stud shear connector by $108\%$ and perfobond rib shear connector by $26\%$. The results obtained indicate that the perfobond rib connector is a viable alternative to the headed studs. An appreciable improvement in the shear capacity of the connection was observed when additional reinforcing bars were passed through the perfobond rib holes. For composite beams with concrete filled steel tubes, ㄱ type perfobond shear connectors exhibit adequate ductility and substantially higher capacities.

The perfobond connector, composed of a steel plate with a number of holes, serves as a certain type of shear connector in steel and concrete composite structures. Depending on limits in hole distances and rib heights, various hole shapes including circular-hole and long-hole are alternatives for perfobond connectors. This study presented the results of tests performed on 72 push-out specimens with perfobond connectors. The purpose was to evaluate the shear strength of perfobond connectors with circular-hole and long-hole. The effects of various parameters were investigated, including the hole diameter, the hole length, the hole height, the concrete strength, the existence, diameter and strength of rebar in the hole, the thickness, height and distance of perfobond ribs, and the thickness of concrete slabs. On the basis of 132 push-out test results in references and in this study, an analytical model was proposed by regression analysis to predict the shear strength of perfobond connectors. The proposed equation agreed reasonably well with the experimental results of perfobond connectors with different hole shapes.

This study focuses on the load carrying capacity and the force transfer mechanism of multi-hole perfobond shear connectors in steel-concrete composite structure. The behavior of multi-hole perfobond shear connector is more complicated than single-hole connector cases. 2 groups push-out tests were conducted. Based on the test results, behavior of the connection was analyzed and the failure mechanism was identified. Simplified iterative method and analytic solution were proposed based on force equilibrium for analyzing multi-hole perfobond shear connector performance. Finally, the sensitivity of design parameters of multi-hole perfobond shear connector was investigated. The results of this research showed that shear force distribution curve of multi-hole perfobond shear connector is near catenary. Shear forces distribution were determined by stiffness ratio of steel to concrete member, stiffness ratio of shear connector to steel member, and number of row. Efficiency coefficient was proposed to should be taking into account in different limit state.

The results obtained indicate that the T type perfobond rib shear connectors exhibit adequate ductility and substantially higher capacities. Therefore for composite beams utilizing reinforced concrete slabs, the T type perfobond rib shear connectors is a viable alternative to the headed studs.

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.

The ㄱ type perfobond rib shear connector is a ㄱ type flat steel plate with a number of holes punched through. This connector can be effectively used in girder with high shear. The ㄱ type perfobond rib shear connector exhibit very stiff behaviour under service load conditions and also had the characteristic of retaining a significant amount of load after the attainment of ultimate capacity. The ㄱ type perfobond rib shear connector with safety factor of 3 is applied shear connector of CFT composite girder. From static test result of CFT composite girder, relative displacement of 0.01mm measured at the service load moment. At design of the ㄱ type perfobond rib shear connector, applying safety factor of 3 was more conservative than test result.

기존에 제안된 Perfobond rib connector의 강도평가식은 압축강도가 약 50 MPa 이하의 콘크리트 강도 범위에 대한 Push-out test의 결과로 유도된 것으로서, 압축강도 80 MPa 이상의 초고성능 콘크리트에 대한 전단 연결재 성능 평가를 위하여 Perfobond rib 연결재의 전단강도를 파악하기 위한 Push-out test를 수행하였다. Perfobond rib connector의 제작변수는 관통홀의 지름 및 개수이며, 강섬유가 혼입된 180 MPa의 콘크리와 강섬유를 혼입하지 않은 압축강도 80 MPa의 콘크리트를 적용하여 콘크리트 강도 변화에 대한 전단강도 변화를 검토하였다. 실험결과, 콘크리트 강도와 홀의 개수가 증가함 따라 전단강도가 증가하며, 다웰 효과에 의한 전단강도 증가율도 큰 것으로 나타났다. 기존에 다른 연구자들이 제안한 강도식으로 계산된 예측치와 비교한 결과, 실험값은 Oguejiofor & Hosain[2]이 제안한 강도식에 근접한 결과를 보였다.
