Demountable composite steel-concrete floors: A state-of-the-art review
Abstract
In keeping with current demands for sustainable development in all segments of the industry, numerous research in the field of steel-concrete composite structures has been focused on developing demountable shear connectors. In the past years, various demountable shear connectors have been suggested, with various mechanisms for transferring shear force between a steel profile and a concrete or composite slab. In this paper, a state of the art on the topic is given, and experimental and numerical research results of push-out and beam tests are summarized.
