In this paper, a hollow steel tube (HST) shear connector is proposed for use in a slim-floor
system. The HST welded to a perforated steel beam web and embedded in concrete slab. A …

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 …

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 …

Grouted sleeves are widely adopted in accelerated bridge construction (ABC), and
connecting column segments by splice joints. As a part of column structure in prefabricated …

In steel and concrete composite structures, an efficient type of open rib shear connector, the
so called composite dowel connector, can be used to transfer shear forces between the …

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 flexural strength of steel and concrete composite beams is influenced by both the
connectors' shear capacity and the slip across the steel–concrete interface. However, plastic …

In modern bridge construction, steel‐concrete composite structures with composite dowels
are being built more than ever, especially for small and medium spans. In contrast to headed …

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 …

To maximize the benefits of high-strength steel (HSS) and ultra-high performance concrete
(UHPC) composite structures, proper connections at HSS-UHPC interfaces are essential …
