Abstract

An experimental push-out test was carried out on 12 specimens in 6 groups to investigate the mechanical behavior of shear connectors in cold-formed steel-concrete composite beams. Specimen groups have differences in rivet spacing, shear connector spacing, tab aspect, and rebar through shear connectors. The mechanical behavior was evaluated through quantities such as shear resistance, relative slip between the steel beam and concrete slab, and failure modes. The results show that screw significantly affects the mechanical behavior of shear connectors in cold-formed steel-concrete composite beams.
