3D FEM Simulation Analysis for PBL Shear Connectors

Abstract:

This paper analyze ultimate bearing capacity, transfer mechanism, failure process and influence of aperture, steel bar diameter, concrete rating and on elastic bearing capacity and ultimate bearing capacity of PBL shear connectors by the finite element analysis software ANSYS. This paper can provide a reference for further design of PBL shear connectors as well as push-out or pull-out test. The results show that the elasticity bearing capacity of PBL shear connectors is determined primarily by concrete while the ultimate bearing capacity is determined primarily by perforative steel bar.
