Abstract: Generally speaking, steel beams are mechanically assembled with a concrete slab and stud shear connectors. The concrete slab works as a restraint against buckling instability such as lateral and lateral—torsional buckling ...

Abstract: In general, a steel beam is assembled with a concrete slab using shear connectors. Recently, perfobond-shear connectors have been attracting interest because of their high shear stiffness and strength. Nevertheless, the ...
