Shear Strength of the Perfobond Connection of a Steel-Concrete Composite Slim Floor System

Article Preview

Abstract:

The use of steel-concrete composite members has been significantly increased as they have the advantages of the reduction of cross sectional areas, excellent ductility against earthquake loadings and a longer life span than typical steel frame members. In this paper, push-out tests were performed on six specimens to investigate the structural behavior and shear strength of perfobond connection of a steel-concrete composite slim floor system. An equation to theoretically estimate the shear strength of the perfobond connection is proposed, and its accuracy is examined by comparing its predictions with the test results. A finite element analysis model is also developed and used to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed strength equation.
