Behavior of Shear Studs Subjected to Fully Reversed Cyclic Loading

Pipe damper, Part I: Experimental and analytical study

“…2. The test setup and apparatus are very similar to shear connector's standard push-out test arrangement [6,7]. Two pipes in a symmetrical manner were used in each specimen.…”

“…Monotonic loading consisted of steadily increasing the displacement up until complete failure. Cyclic loading protocol was similar to the one used by Civjan and Singh [6] for stud shear connectors or the one used by Maleki and Bagheri [7] for channel shear connectors. This consisted of two cycles at ±0.3M, ±0.6M, ±0.9M and then increasing the load up until failure if necessary; where M is the previously tested monotonic capacity of the corresponding specimen.…”

Behavior of shear studs in steel frames with reinforced concrete infill walls

“…This, in combination with the inclusion of parallel edges, produced stud strengths much lower than what was predicted by PCI [21] [Eq. (5)]. This also reflects the very low level of reinforcement that is assumed by ACI [2] [Eq.…”

“…The design tensile strength of the shear connector is given as the lesser of Eqs. (4) and (5). PCI [21] also provides other adjustments to the stud tensile strength equations to take into account groups of studs and studs near a free edge parallel to the line of force that are not applicable for the specimens in this research and are omitted here for brevity.…”

“…Hawkins and Mitchell [8], Gattesco and Giuriani [7], Bursi and Ballerini [4], Zandonini and Bursi [31], and Civjan and Singh [5] performed a range of different types of push-pull tests on shear connectors under high amplitude cyclic (seismic) shear loading for slabs in composite beams. Results generally showed that pushpull specimens exhibited lower strength and ductility than corresponding monotonic push specimens.…”
