shear connector is a critical structural component used in composite
construction to enhance the connection between concrete slabs and
steel beams or girders. By creating a strong bond, shear connectors effectively transfer shear forces between the materials, enabling them towork together as a unified system to support loads.
Commonly made from steel, these connectors are welded or fixed onto
the surface of steel members and embedded within the concrete, improving overall structural stability, load-bearing capacity, and resistance to slipping or separation under stress. They are widely used in bridges, buildings, and infrastructure projects to optimize performance and ensure safety.
Application
Enhances the connection between concrete slabs and steel beams, providing stronger load-bearing capabilities and ensuring the structure remains stable under stress.
Strengthens modern bridge systems by connecting steel beams with concrete decks, enabling a lighter structural profile while maintaining high performance under traffic loads.
Optimizes floor systems for buildings, reducing structural depth and increasing span lengths for cost-effective designs.
