Multi-bolt shear connectors (MBSCs), arranging bolts as a group in several rows, can be applied in prefabricated steel–concrete composite beams or bridges (SCCBs) to reduce the construction time and ...

The high-strength bolt shear connector in prefabricated concrete slab has advantages in applications as it reduces time during the construction of steel-concrete composite building structures and ...

Abstract: As is well known, the main function of the use of connectors is to transmit shear forces from the steel beam to the concrete slab and vice versa, in addition to providing a tie between these ...

This article examined steel frames with shear beam-column connections to determine the effectiveness of different masonry infill walls under progressive collapse. This research concentrated on the ...

Composite structural elements of steel-concrete began to be used only in 1960 after the development of methods and constructive dispositions that ensured the functionality of these two materials ...
