Abstract: Perfobond rib shear connectors (known as PBL shear connectors) are structures widely used to transfer loads between concrete and steel structural elements. The performance of PBL shear connectors under monotonic loads has ...

Abstract: This paper develops a novel reinforcement frame as the shear connector in the composite deck, which was expected to deliver large pre-pouring stiffness. To investigate its shear resistance, nine specimens were designed, ...
