Abstract
In steel-concrete composite construction, headed stud shear connectors are commonly used to transfer longitudinal shear forces across the steel-concrete interface. Present knowledge of the load-slip behavior of the shear stud in composite beam is limited to data obtained from the experimental push-off tests. A finite element model to simulate the structural behavior of headed stud shear connector in steel-concrete composite beam is described in the chapter. The model is based on finite element method and takes into account linear and nonlinear behavior of the materials. The model has been validated against test results and compared with data given in the current Code of Practices, for which both demonstrate the accuracy of the model used. Parametric studies using the model to investigate variations in concrete strength and shear stud diameter are also discussed in the chapter. The model takes into account the linear and nonlinear material properties of the concrete and shear stud. The FE results compare well with the experimental push-off test results and specified data from the codes. The FE model accurately predicts the mode of failure.
