Abstract: |
Composite structure is becoming prominent for its economy, less time consumption, and higher stiffness-mass ratio. Composite action of the steel-concrete composite structure mainly depends on the connector's geometry and materials. Proper choice of shear connector could make steel beam and concrete slab cross-section minimal. This study carries out push-out tests to evaluate the structural efficiency of channel and angle shear connectors in brick aggregate concrete and stone aggregate concrete. It specifically looks at the failure mode, ductility, load-slip behavior, and energy absorption capacity. In brick aggregate concrete, results show that under monotonic loading, channel connectors have been found to have 15.27% more shear capacity & 28.38% more slip than angle connectors. Similarly, in stone aggregate concrete, channel connectors have been found to have 14% more shear capacity & 12.97% higher slip than angle connectors. On average, stone aggregate concrete has been found to have 34.84% higher shear capacity and 6.7% greater slip than brick aggregate concrete. Strain energy and plastic energy were found 78% and 17.6% less in brick aggregate specimens than those in stone aggregate specimens, respectively. Experimental results were slightly lower for both shear connectors than the empirical values. |
