| description | The most commonly used types of shear connectors in steel-concrete composite
structures are headed shear stud and Perfobond shear connectors. Due to the limitations
in the performance of headed studs and Perfobond shear connectors, the use of Cshaped
shear connectors as an alternative has been recommended. Furthermore,
manufacturing of the C-shaped shear connectors is easier compared to the other
connectors since in most steel shops, commercial standard sizes for hot rolled steel
profiles of C-shaped shear connectors are available. Moreover, by simply cutting in
their long steel profiles, these types of connectors can be easily prepared and the
manufacturing cost and time for making C-shaped connectors are significantly low. Cshaped
connectors show higher shear capacity and with the use of the conventional
reliable welding system, it could be welded easily to steel beam.
The angle connectors, as compared to channel connectors, could be cheaper and
more economical due to the absence of bottom flange which ultimately saves more
steel. The results of investigation of behavior of C-shaped angle shear connector is not
included in previous research yet. In this thesis, the results of twenty four experimental
push-out tests on angle shear connectors are presented. The connectors were embedded
in a solid slab with High Strength Concrete (HSC) and were tested under monotonic and
low cyclic fatigue loading. Based on the results, angle shear connectors showed good
behavior in terms of shear strength but not in ductility as the main criterion for the
behavior of shear connectors. Connector fracture types of failure was seen and less
sensitivity to flange thickness and height of connectors was reported for angle
connectors in terms of shear strength. Longer connectors exhibit more ductility
compared to shorter connectors. The details of angle shear connector behavior have
been discussed in detail as well.
