Abstract

Bridges with embedded continuous shear connectors are getting more and more being used as a solution for the question of short-span bridges. They bring advantages such as low construction height – which can be helpful in reconstructions; easy construction process due to the prefabrication and overall effectivity of the beams with such cross-sections. At Technical University of Košice, Faculty of Civil Engineering several types of the connectors have been designed and tested. In this article, one of them is presented. Its geometry as well as geometry of the beam; analytical study; the tests performed at Laboratory of Excellent Research and FEM analysis and briefly described.
