Abstract

The published results of push tests were analysed statistically
in order to determine the main parameters that affect the strength
of stud shear connectors. The results of the statistical analysis
were used to design a series of seventy-nine push tests. A finite
element analysis program was developed which allowed for the interaction
between the tensile and compressive failure of concrete and hence
predicted the variation in the bearing strength of concrete prisms of
varying size and with varying amounts of lateral restraint, when
subjected to concentrated loads.
A combination of-theoretical and empirical analyses was used to
determine the load at which the stud broke, the strength of concrete
prisms which were subjected to patch loads of varying size and eccentricity
and hence the strength of concrete slabs, the effect of lateral forces
and transverse reinforcement on the strength of the stud and the slab,
the-strength of shear connections in which the reinforcement is looped
around the stud and the load-slip curve for a stud shear connection.
