The behavior of shear connections in composite
beam construction has been determined by a
comprehensive experimental examination
conducted in compliance with EC4-1-1Annex
B.2. In order to illustrate the steel-concrete
composite construction's ultimate strength
behavior from the component level to the
structural level, six push-out experiments were
published. Push- out tests were used to examine
the specimens while varying constructive
parameters. Longitudinal and transverse steel
sheeting types and positions were varied for
headed stud connectors with d=19mm and
hsc=100mm. Additionally, there were
variations in the number of shear connections
in the cross section (1 or 2) and the welding
process, both via deck welding and with holes.
We re-adopted concrete with grade C25/30,
which is the commonly used grade, and
reinforcing with a low percentage. When the
results of load capacity were compared to the
intended load capacity as per EC4-1-1 (6.6.3
and 6.6.4),
