Abstract
The steel plate-concrete (SC) composite slabs usually undergo large deformation under impact loading. To prevent early failure of the connectors and further improve the energy dissipation capacity, a novel kinked rebar connector (KR connector) is proposed for SC slabs. Pendulum impact tests on six specimens and numerical simulation are carried out to reveal the dynamic response and failure modes of KR-SC slabs with varying connector bending angles, diameters, and layout spacing. The results show that the finite element model can well predict the dynamic response of the KR-SC slabs under impact. The KR-SC slab reaches the best energy dissipation capacity at a connector bending angle of 45°.
