Shear connectors are essential elements in the design of steel-concrete composite systems. These connectors are utilized to prevent the occurrence of potential slips at the interface of steel and concrete. The two types of shear connectors which have been recently employed in construction projects are C- and L-shaped connectors. In the current study, the behavior of C and L-shaped angle shear connectors is investigated experimentally. For this purpose, eight push-out tests were composed and subjected to monotonic loading. The load-slip curves and failure modes have been determined. Also, the shear strength of the connectors has been compared with previously developed relationships. Two failure modes of shear connectors were observed: 1) concrete crushing-splitting and 2) shear connector fracture. It was found that the L-shaped connectors have less shear strength compared to C-shaped connectors, and decreasing the angle leg size increases the shear strength of the C-shaped connectors, but decreases the relative ductility and strength of L-shaped connectors.

본 연구의 목적은 저열 시멘트를 활용한 콘크리트와 고밀도 폴리에틸렌을 활용한 친환경 저수조를 평가하는 것이다. 친환경 저수조의 강도와 파괴모드를 평가하기 위하여 콘크리트와 고밀도 폴리에틸렌 복합체의 인장강도 시험, 다양한 종류의 콘크리트 수화열 실험, 다양한 혼화재를 활용한 수화열 실험 등을 수행하였다. 수행결과 전단키가 콘크리트와 고밀도 폴리에틸렌의 복합체로 거동할 수 있는 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 규명하였고, ㄱ 타입의 전단키가 V 타입보다 40% 이상 인장강도를 증진시킨다는 것을 보여주었다. 연구결과 새로운 친환경 저수조는 기존의 콘크리트 저수조보다 안전성을 개선시키며, 보다 적용성과 활용성이 많은 것으로 기대된다.

강 콘크리트 합성구조에서 강재와 콘크리트 사이의 경계면에 효과적인 응력전달과 합성거동을 유도하기 위하여 스터드, 채널, 유공강판 등이 사용된다. 가장 광범위하게 사용하는 전단연결재는 스터드 형식이고, 최근에 들어서는 강판에 구멍을 뚫은 유공강판전단연결재인 Perfobond가 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구는 강 콘크리트 합성교량에 적용하기 위한 Perfobond형 전단연결재의 연성능력과 전단성능을 향상시킬 목적으로 횡방향 전단구속철근을 배치하고, Push-out 실험을 수행하여 전단내력을 비교하였다. 실험결과, 유공강판 전단연결재에 전단구속철근, 횡방향 관통철근, 단부 지압판 등을 설치함에 따른 수평 저항성능이나 다웰효과 등에 의해 전단내력이 상승하였으며, 또한 최대내력 이후 변형능력이 유지되면서 연성거동 특성을 보였다.

A series of tests was conducted to study the behaviour of steel-composite sandwich beams under low velocity hard impact. Damage characteristic and performance of sandwich beams with different spacing of shear connector were evaluated under impact loading. Thin steel plates were used as top and bottom skins of the sandwich beams and plain concrete was used as the core material. Shear connectors were provided by welding of angle sections on steel plates. The sandwich beams were impacted at their midpoint by a hemi-spherical nose shaped projectile dropped from various heights. Strains on steel plates were measured to study the effects of impact velocity or impact momentum on the performance of sandwich beams. Spacing of shear connectors is found to have significant effects on the impact response of the beams.

A steel plate-concrete composite slab with pyramidal shear connectors, named TSC composite slab, is expected to have sufficient bending strength and flexural rigidity for loads during and after construction. Fatigue problems play an important role in designing composite slab as bridge decks under traffic conditions. In this paper, a series of fatigue tests was carried out on TSC beam specimens under various loading conditions, in order to evaluate the fatigue strength of TSC composite slabs. The results are as follows : (1) the fatigue failure of TSC composite beams results from the tensile fracture of bottom steel plate and shear connector, and (2) fatigue strength of the steel plate for two million cycles can be estimated to be $1144kgf/cm^2$ from the S-N curves.

Shear connectors are key elements that ensure integrity in a composite system. The primary purpose of a shear connector is to bring a high degree of interaction between composite elements. A wide variety of connectors are available for hot-rolled composite construction, connected to the beam through welding. However, with cold-formed members being very thin, welding of shear connectors is not desirable in cold-formed composite constructions. Shear connectors for cold-formed elements are limited in studies as well as in the market. Hence in this study, three different types of shear connectors, namely, single-channel, double channel, and self-tapping screw, were considered, and their performance assessed by the Push-out test as per Eurocode 4. The connection between channel shear connectors and the beam was made using self-tapping screws to avoid welding. The performance of the connectors was analyzed based on their ultimate capacity, characteristic capacity, ductility, and slippage during loading. Strength to weight ratio was also carried out to understand the proposed connectors' suitability for conventional ones. The results showed relatively higher initial stiffness and ductility for double channel connectors than other connectors. Also, self-tapping screws had a higher strength to weight ratio with low ductility.

건축물의 고층화, 대형화에 따라 기둥이 부담해야할 하중이 증대되고, 이로 인한 기둥단면적의 증대에 효율적으로 대처하기 위해 CFT(콘크리트 충전강관)기둥의 형식을 개발하게 되었다. CFT기둥은 이질재료로 구성된 복합구조형식으로, 역학적 거동을 규명하기 위해 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 원형과 각형의 CFT기둥에 있어서 콘크리트 코어와 강관, 두 이질재료간의 접촉면 부착응력에 대한 해석적 연구로서 비선형 해석프로그램인 ABAQUS/Standard Version 5.8을 이용하여 shear-connector의 부착형태 및 위치에 따른 부착응력을 비교하고, 접촉면의 역학적 특성에 대한 개선된 해석기법을 제시하고자 한다.

The conception and experimental assessment of a removable friction-based shear connector (FBSC) for precast steel-concrete composite bridges is presented. The FBSC uses pre-tensioned high-strength steel bolts that pass through countersunk holes drilled on the top flange of the steel beam. Pre-tensioning of the bolts provides the FBSC with significant frictional resistance that essentially prevents relative slip displacement of the concrete slab with respect to the steel beam under service loading. The countersunk holes are grouted to prevent sudden slip of the FBSC when friction resistance is exceeded. Moreover, the FBSC promotes accelerated bridge construction by fully exploiting prefabrication, does not raise issues relevant to precast construction tolerances, and allows rapid bridge disassembly to drastically reduce the time needed to replace any deteriorating structural component (e.g., the bridge deck). A series of 11 push-out tests highlight why the novel structural details of the FBSC result in superior shear load-slip displacement behavior compared to welded shear studs. The paper also quantifies the effects of bolt diameter and bolt preload and presents a design equation to predict the shear resistance of the FBSC.

이 연구에서는 강판 매입형 합성기둥의 Push-out Test를 통해 강재와 콘크리트의 부착면적에 따른 영향을 알아보았다. 이로써 부착면적이 넓을수록 부착응력은 작아진다는 경향이 조사되었다. 또한 소규모 매입형 합성기둥의 경우에는 설계기준에서 제시하는 공칭부착 응력값이 과소하게 적용되는 것을 확인하였다. 다음으로 H형강 매입형 합성기둥의 Push-out Test를 통해 전단연결재의 수와 간격에 따른 영향을 알아보았다. 이로써 전단연결재의 전단거동을 파악할 수 있었다.

To avoid the cracks of cast-in-place concrete in shear pockets and seams in the traditional composite beam with precast decks, this paper proposed a new type of prefabricated steel truss-concrete composite beam (ab. PSTC beam) with pre-embedded shear studs (ab. PSS connector). To study the initial cracking load of concrete deck, the development and distribution laws of the cracks, 3 PSTC beams were tested under hogging moment. And the crack behavior of the deck was compared with traditional precast composite beam, which was assembled by shear pockets and cast-in-place joints. Results show that: (i) the initial crack appears on the deck, thus avoid the appearance of the cracks in the traditional shear pockets; (ii) the crack of the seam appears later than that of the deck, which verifies the reliability of epoxy cement mortar seam, thus solves the complex structure and easily crack behavior of the traditional cast-in-place joints; (iii) the development and the distribution laws of the cracks in PSTC beam are different from the conventional composite beam. Therefore, in the deduction of crack calculation theory, all the above factors should be considered.
