Abstract
AbstractThis paper presents an experimental investigation on the behavior of steel stud connectors in steel composite joints with precast hollowcore slabs in resisting the static bending moment. An experimental program including 5 flexural tests was carried out, and the failure modes of the studs, as well as the shear capacity of stud connectors are investigated. Their contribution to the overall joint moment capacity were studied in depth. The pertinent design recommendation in shear stud design for enhance the moment capacity of the composite joints are also proposed. The testing results and design recommendations presented in this paper can provide basic for future design of composite joints using shear stud connectors with precast slabs
