Experimental characterization of shear connectors for steel and concrete composite bridge decks
| Resumo: | The aim of this communication is to show the experimental work developed at University of Minho regarding the characterization of shear connectors’ structural behaviour in lightweight concrete and to compare the obtained results with results presented by other authors. The experiments conducted made it possible to determine the load capacity and the deformation capacity of shear studs and Perfobond connectors, and to evaluate its ductility. The advantages or disadvantages related to each type of shear connector and the differences between the technological solutions needed to fabricate and assemble each device are also pointed out. |
