For multi-story structural systems, Korean steel industry has fostered development of a steel-concrete composite beam. Configuration of the composite beam is characterized by steel angle shear connectors welded to a U-shaped cold formed-steel beam. Effects of shear connector orientation and spacing were studied to evaluate current application of the angle shear connector design equation in AC495. For the study, interfacial shear resistance behavior was investigated by conducting 24 push-out tests and attuned using unreinforced push-out specimens. Interfacial shear to horizontal slip response was reported along with corresponding failure patterns. Pure shear connector strength was also evaluated by excluding concrete shear contribution, which was estimated in relation to steel beam-slab interface separation or interfacial crack width.

앵글을 전단연결재로 사용한 시공개선형 합성보(BESTOBEAM)의 전단연결재 길이에 따른 전단 내력을 실험적으로 평가하고 전단내력 설계식을 제안하였다. Eurocode 4의 경우와 달리 BESTOBEAM의 전단연결재는 등분포 하중을 받는 보의 거동과 유사하며 그 순경간(BESTO Width)에 따라 전단 내력이 달라진다. BESTO Width와 콘크리트의 강도에 따른 전단 내력을 Push-out 실험을 통해 측정한 결과 BESTO Width가 길어질수록 내력이 감소하고 연성능력은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 실험결과를 반영하여 Eurocode 4의 설계식을 수정하여 새로운 설계식을 제안하였다. 제안된 설계식을 통해 예측된 전단연결재의 강도는 10% 오차 범위 이내로 잘 맞는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 앵글을 전단연결재로 사용한 BESTOBEAM의 전단 강도 설계에 제안된 식을 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study investigates numerically the behavior of tilted angle shear connectors embedded in solid concrete slabs. Two different tilted angle connectors were used, titled angle with 112.5 and 135 degrees between the angle leg and steel beam flange. A nonlinear finite element model was developed to simulate and validate the experimental push-out tests. Parametric studies were performed to investigate the variations in concrete strength and connector's dimensions. The results indicate that the ultimate strength of a tilted angle shear connector is directly related to the square root of the concrete compressive strength. The effects of variations in the geometry of tilted angle connectors on the shear capacity are discussed in details. Based on the numerical analyses, two equations are proposed to estimate the ultimate capacity of tilted angle shear connectors of 112.5 and 135 degrees in the defined range of parameters.

본 연구에서는 앵글을 전단연결재로 사용하여 합성보의 휨성능을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 실험의 주요변수는 앵글의 크기와 간격 및 콘크리트가 합성 전과 합성 후의 휨에 대한 전체적인 거동을 실험적으로 검증하였다. 또한 중공PC슬래브와 일반RC슬래브와 같이 사용하였을 때의 휨성능을 비교하였다. 이를 종합적으로 판단하면, 앵글을 전단연결재로 사용한 합성보의 휨성능은 앵글의 간격을 적절하게 배치시키면 예상내력보다 25-55% 이상의 공칭내력을 보유하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 예상한 바와 같이, 합성보의 내력에 미치는 앵글의 변수를 살펴보면 앵글의 크기가 클수록 앵글의 간격이 좁을수록 합성보의 내력이 상승함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 중공PC슬래브에서도 앵글을 사용한 합성보의 성능이 잘 발휘됨을 실험적으로 검증하였다.

The behavior of composite steel-concrete beams depends on the transmission of forces between two parts: the concrete slab and the steel I-beam. The shear connector is responsible for the interaction between these two parts. Recently, an alternative shear connector, called Truss Type connector, has been developed; it aligns efficient structural behavior, fast construction and implementation, and low cost when compared to conventional connectors applied in composite structures. However, there is still a lack of full understanding of the mechanical behavior of the Truss Type connector, due to its novelty. Thus, this study aims to analyze the influence of variation of geometric and physical parameters on the shear resistance of the Truss Type connector. In order to investigate those parameters, a non-linear finite element model, able to simulate push-out tests of Truss Type connectors, was specifically developed and validated with experimental results. A thorough parametric study, varying the height, the angle between rods, the diameter, and the concrete strength, was conducted to evaluate the shear resistance of the Truss Type connector. In addition, an equation to predict the resistance of the original Truss Type shear connector was proposed.

Fire is one of the environmental parameters affecting the structure causing element internal forces to change, as well as reducing the strength of the materials. One of the common types of floors in tall steel structures is the steel concrete composite slab. Shear connectors are used in steel and concrete composite beam in various shapes also has played significant role in a burning fire event of building with a steel concrete composite beam. The current study has reviewed the effects of temperature raising on the angle connector behavior through the use of push out tests and monotonic static force. The results have shown (1) the ductility of the samples is acceptable based on EC4 standard; (2) temperature raising has reduced the stiffness; (3) the shear ductility increment; and (4) the shear capacity reduction. Also, the amount of angle shear connector resistance has been decreased from 18.5% to 41% at ambient temperature up to $850^{\circ}C$.

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.

The numerical analysis and the experiment was performed to investigate the influences of shear connector on shear resistance capability. The numerical analysis's results should that the H/B ratio of shear key is more effective than angle of shear key against shear strength and shear behavior, and it is more desirable to use a half of the H/B ratio of shear key. The specimen was made with same condition as AASHTO recommended. There model tests were performed under various form of shear key, number, arrangement reinforcement and condition using epoxy. As a result of the experiment, there is little difference(or there is no difference) between the case of using epoxy on shear connector and the unused case.

In order to evaluate the design shear strength of composite slabs with truss-shaped shear connectors(TSC), a series of push-out tests on several types of specimens was carried out. The test results for the two parameters of bearing area and solid angle of the connector were compared to obtain the design shear force of the truss-shaped connectors. The results obtained from this study are as follows: (1) The slip-coefficients of TSC ranges from 0.87 to 3.12(${\times}10^6kgf/cm$). (2) The slip stiffness and the shear strength of TSC with $60.6cm^2$ bearing area are greater than those with $14.6cm^2$. (3) For estimating the allowable shear force of TSC, a design equation that is based on the bearing strength of the connector is suggested. (4) The mean safety factors of the critical force and the ultimate force are 2.38 and 4.62. respectively.
