Study on behaviour of angle shear connector in steel-concrete composite structures

Estudio Experimental de Conectores Tipo Ángulo en Vigas Compuestas de Acero y Hormigón

“…De las investigaciones previas realizadas, Soty & Shima (2013) en su estudio acerca de conectores de corte tipo ángulo y canal, proponen una ecuación que considera la longitud y altura del conector, así como la resistencia a compresión del hormigón y emplean un factor que relaciona el espesor y la altura del conector. Balasubramanian & Rajaram (2016), basados en ecuaciones del Eurocode 4, hicieron un estudio experimental del comportamiento del conector de corte en forma de ángulo y llegaron a su propia ecuación que considera longitud del conector y su altura embebida en la losa, así como la resistencia a compresión del hormigón.…”

Review of Various Shear Connectors in Composite Structures

“…By taking the advantages of the properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) thin plates such as high tensile strength, satisfactory durability, and ultra-high compressive strength, Zhao et al [72] proposed short steel channel connectors with thin UHPC plates for composite decks. Balasubramanian and Rajaram [73] reported the experimental findings of push-out static loading tests performed on composite structures with angle shear connectors. Deng et al [5] proposed a unique channel connector type and compared its behaviour with Trib and angle shear connectors in the experimental push-out test.…”

“…The first investigation on double reduced beam section was carried out by [57], in which two adjacent radius cuts was implemented in beam flange named as DRBS, and concluded that implementing the second cut leads to maximum equivalent plastic strain index reduction as well as delaying the local buckling. Investigating the behavior of RBS connections through numerical or experimental studies in the recent years are conducted by many researchers among which [67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76] can be mentioned. Fanaie et al [69] pointed to a method in which a mathematical approach in conjunction with principles of structural analysis is employed in order to acquire the drift as well as changes in stiffness of stories in frames with RBS connections.…”

“…Although comparing the behavior of interior connections with voids in beam web or flange has received numerous attention, there exists a significant ambiguity regarding the behavior of frames with web or flange cuts since cutting a part of the beam alters the force transfer from the beam to the column [95,129] and parameters affecting the strength of the frame such as opening area, shape, use of stiffeners, etc., are of great significance in the behavior, resistance, energy dissipation capacity, and failure mode of the connections [2,[23][24][25]114]. Hence, numerous studies have been conducted on steel connections including Reduced Beam Section (RBS) [64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79], Reduced Web Section (RWS) , Drilled Flange Connection (DFC) [115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125], and many design codes and standards [1,10,[18][19][20][27][28][29] employed the introduced connections as an engineered connections. Since each connection has advantages and disadvantage, e.g.…”
