Composite beam incorporated steel profiled decking has been extensively used for multi-storey buildings and is now one of the most efficient and economic form of flooring systems. However, the current composite flooring system is not demountable and would require extensive cutting on site during demolition, and the opportunity to reuse the steel components is lost even though these components could be salvaged and recycled. This paper presents the use of high strength bolts as shear connectors in composite construction, the shear behaviour and failure modes were observed and analysed through a series of push-off tests and numerical simulation. The results highlighted the structural behaviour of three different demountable shear connection forms in which continuous slabs or un-continuous slabs were used. Numerical models were validated against experimental observation. Both experimental and numerical results support the high strength bolts used as demountable shear connectors and lead to a better understanding to the behaviour of this form of shear connectors.

Composite plays a vital role in replacing the existing mild steel in reinforcement and exterior truss structure. This study proposed to design shear connector for joining concrete slab and steel section. Shear connectors has analyzed and predict the best connector for a particular composite beam with respect to static load and the amount of steel in the connector as a common aspect. The use of composite structures is increasingly present in civil construction works nowadays. Composite beams, especially, are structures which include substances, a metal phase placed in particular inside the tension region and a concrete phase, positioned in the compression go sectional location, both are related with the aid of steel gadgets called shear connectors. The main features of this connector are to permit the weight for the joint the beam-column, to restriction longitudinal slipping and uplifting on the factors interface the shear forces. Our project paper presents 3D numerical models of steel-concrete composite beams to simulate their structural behaviour, with emphasis on the beam column interface using Simulations software ANSYS 18.1 based on the Finite Element Method. Mostly these type of structures are widely used in the dynamic loading structures like bridges and high rise buildings.

Composite construction is well known to be effectively used in the construction of buildings and bridges using hot rolled steel (HRS) and headed studs connectors. The shear connectors provides the enhancement as established in current design codes. In this paper, the shear connection mechanism was proposed using high strength bolted shear connector to provide composite action between concrete and the steel section. The conventional headed stud shear connector was eliminated since Cold-formed steel (CFS) was used and welding was not practically possible due to thinness nature of the CFS section. Therefore, in this study investigation was carried out on the strength capacity, ductility and the ultimate flexural capacity of the proposed high strength bolted shear connector and the composite beam specimens respectively. Four push-out and two full-scale composite beam specimens were fabricated using high strength M16 bolted shear connector of Grade 8.8 connected to the top flanges of the CFS I-section and tested to failure using push-out and four-point bending tests respectively. The results show that ultimate load and ultimate moment capacities of the proposed system were significantly improved by using the proposed connectors. The experimental results were compared with theoretical results based on the provision of Eurocode 4, and good agreement between the results was observed. In conclusion, compared results proved that the ultimate moment capacity of the proposed composite beams can be estimated efficiently by using the constitutive laws as prescribed by Eurocodes and British standards.

This paper describes the reliability analysis of shear connection in composite beams with profiled steel sheeting. The profiled steel sheeting had transverse ribs perpendicular to the steel beam. The level of safety of shear connection, and failure modes were determinate. An extensive parametric study was conducted to study the effects on the safety and behaviour of shear connection by changing the profiled steel sheeting geometries, the diameter and height of headed stud, as well as the strength of concrete. We compared the level safety calculated using the American specification, British standard and European code for headed stud shear connectors in composite slabs with profiled steel sheeting perpendicular to the steel beam. It is found that the design overestimated the level safety of shear connection.

The dynamic compressive behavior of Al2O3 (10% vol.) / TiB2 ceramic composite had been tested by using a split Hopkinson pressure bar in this paper. The results show that the main failure modes of the ceramic composite include crushed failure and split fracture along the loading direction. The former is the typical compressive failure of brittle materials. The later is tensile failure along the flaws produced during the composite manufacturing. The numerical simulation was also used to study the effect of the diameter/length ratio of the samples on the experimental results. The effect of the deformation in the bars’ ends, which contacted with the samples, was also studied in the numerical models.

This paper used the OpenSees[1] to simulate an externally prestressed composite beam, by contrasting the experimental results to explore the factors that affect the accuracy of the numerical simulation. The different numerical models are constituted with the different material constitutive models in this paper, with the different section fiber division and other factors. We can consider the method of a part of combination beam section which is connecting with shear rivets. The results show that the different concrete constitutive model and the hardening of the steel constitutive model are the important factors of the accuracy of model, and the Gaussian integration points have 3~5 are bitterly for the simulate mode. This study can provide a theoretical basis for the externally prestressed composite beam’s bending behavior of steel beam section’s numerical simulation with the fiber model.

This study aimed to reveal the existence of size effect on the shear connectors used in the steel-concrete composite beams and slabs. The experimental study contains the monotonic tests of nine pushout specimens with the headed studs. Three-dimensional scaling was used for geometrically similar specimens of three sizes. High strength concrete slabs were used on both sides of the steel I-beam. The failure modes of the specimens include both concrete crushing and stud yielding. Finite element (FE) verification of the specimens was conducted using a realistic concrete damage constitutive model, Microplane Model M7. It is shown that there may be a non-negligible size effect based on the fracture patterns of the composite member. Bažant’s size effect law (SEL) can fit the size effect behavior of the shear connectors. The design equations which do not include a size effect term have high correction factors that overestimate the tested specimens. A new design equation can be drawn using the size effect factor for strength reduction of shear connectors.

This paper presents three-dimensional numerical simulation of UHPFRC-NSC composite beam with Diana. An elastic-plastic fracture model is proposed to describe material properties of UHPFRC. Differing from other concrete constitutive model, this one considers strain hardening in tension because of characteristic of UHPFRC. A total strain rotating crack model is used to describe material properties of NSC. The results of relevant push-out tests are used to describe the shear force-slip relationship of shear connection between UHPFRC girder and NSC slab. The numerical investigation focuses on the evaluation of load-deflection behavior, failure mode and shear connection. The agreement of test results and numerical results indicates the reliability of model.

In conventional composite construction for hot-rolled steel (HRS) section, the composite action is usually achieved by using headed studs shear connectors. But, for cold-formed steel (CFS) section, the use of headed studs is not feasible as the section is very thin and difficult to be weld.  Therefore, an innovative way of shear connection mechanism of using bolt and nut is suggested in this study. This paper presents the feasibility of using bolt as shear connector by presenting experimental test results so as to explore more on their capability to be used as shear connectors. The study investigated the structural capability of the proposed bolted shear connector when used in concrete known as Self-compacting concrete (SCC) integrated with CFS to provide the required composite action. Push out test specimens with bolted shear connector of grade 8.8 at designated intervals longitudinally spaced were fabricated, cast and tested to failure. The results showed that the proposed shear connector was structurally capable and also an appreciable strength resistance was achieved.
