Behaviour of C-shaped angle shear connectors under monotonic and fully reversed cyclic loading: An experimental study

摘要: This paper presents an evaluation of the structural behaviour C-shaped angle shear connectors in composite beams, suitable for transferring force structures. The results experimental programme, including eight push-out tests, are presented and discussed. include resistance, strength degradation, ductility, failure modes connectors, under monotonic fully reversed cyclic loading. show that connector fracture type was experienced after failure, more cracking observed those slabs with longer angles. On top that, by comparing resistance loading, these showed 8.8-33.1% Furthermore, it concluded mentioned shows a proper behaviour, terms ultimate capacity, but does not satisfy ductility criteria, imposed Eurocode 4, to perform plastic distribution between different along beam length.
