Composite dowels are known as powerful shear connectors in steel-concrete-composite
girders. More and more they are used in practice, especially for prefabricated composite …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) becomes an innovative resolution for facilitating
the construction and structural performance of prefabricated bridges. Head stud shear …

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is widely used in precast concrete-steel composite
beams because of its beneficial properties, including reduced structural weight, higher …

Recent innovations in composite dowels have led to the realization that robust hybrid
systems can provide excellent strength and stiffness. In this contemporary era, puzzle …

Over the last decades, shear connectors have become indispensable in the engineering of
composite structures. However, there is a lack of behaviour of these devices, especially …

In this paper, corrugated steel-concrete composite bridge decks with perfobond ribs (PBL)
and modified clothoid (MCL) shape shear connectors have been experimentally studied. Six …

The stress of shear connectors becomes more complicated as the span length of steel-
concrete composite bridges increases. To bear the great shear and uplift forces, a T-type …

The perfobond connector is the most widely used connector in the steel-concrete joint, and
its shear behavior is different from that of perfobond connectors in steel-concrete composite …

Investigations leading to an evaluation of the ultimate strength of a clothoid-shaped
continuous shear connection are presented. This paper follows a study by the authors, in …

The push-out test was carried out in order to study the shear performance of perfobond ribs
(PBL) and puzzle (PZ) shape composite dowel shear connectors which are used in …
