Abstract: In this paper, a group of demountable shear connectors have been developed and tested to assess their potential and suitability in terms of replacing welded shear studs. The experiments showed that these demountable shear ...

Abstract: Creep effect becomes an important consideration in the design of high-strength steel structures subjected to a soaking period at elevated temperatures such as in stress-relieving post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) circumstances. ...
