Shear Resistance Capacity of Interface of Plate-Studs Connection between CFST Column and RC Beam

الملخص EN

The combination of a concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) column and reinforced concrete (RC) beam produces a composite structural system that affords good structural performance, functionality, and workability.

The effective transmission of moments and shear forces from the beam to the column is key to the full exploitation of the structural performance.

The studs of the composite beam transfer the interfacial shear force between the steel beam and the concrete slab, with the web bearing most of the vertical shear force of the steel beam.

In this study, the studs and vertical steel plate were welded to facilitate the transfer of the interfacial shear force between the RC beam and CFST column.

Six groups of a total of 18 specimens were used to investigate the shear transfer mechanism and failure mode of the plate-studs connection, which was confirmed to effectively transmit the shear forces between the beam and column.

The results of theoretical calculations were also observed to be in good agreement with the experimental measurements.
