Research on the Influence Factors to the Working Performance of PBL Shear Connectors

Abstract:

In order to investigate the influence rules of the factors such as: the area of the hole in the steel plate, the cross section area of the transfixion steel bar, the concrete strength and the thickness of the steel plate on the working performance of the PBL shear connectors, the effectiveness of finite element method was verified by comparing the results of the test and that of the finite element method, then the PBL working performance indexes under each influence factor with different values were calculated. The results showed that the area of the hole in the steel plate and the concrete strength were the main influence factors to the elastic ultimate load, the elastic stiffness and the initial yield load of the PBL, the cross section area of the transfixion steel bar had some influence on the elastic stiffness and the initial yield load, the steel plate thickness had some influence on the elastic stiffness and the elastic ultimate slip of the PBL.
