| Abstract: |
Saw tooth connectors are designed to transfer significant concentrated forces between steel members and slender concrete slabs, when traditional steel to concrete connections like headed studs are not strong enough. This paper presents the results of the first experimental study of saw tooth connections in order to clarify the ultimate load and the load displacement behaviour. In this context the fracture of structural concrete subjected to compressive forces is reviewed. |
