Effect of additional constraints of push-out test on the mechanical properties of perfobond shear connectors

Yang Zou et al.

Summary: Perfobond shear connector is widely used in steel-concrete composite structures due to its high ultimate shear capacity, large shear stiffness, and excellent fatigue resistance. This study investigates the mechanical properties of perfobond connectors considering the confinement effect caused by restrained rebar and contact friction. The results show that the shear capacity, shear stiffness, and ductility of the connectors can be significantly improved by the presence of restrained rebar and contact friction. A simplified mechanical model and an empirical formula are proposed to accurately predict the shear capacity of perfobond connectors.

Experimental and analytical study on crack resistance of fully prefabricated steel-UHPC composite deck using PBL connectors

Kailai Deng et al.

Summary: To enhance the crack resistance of a fully prefabricated composite deck, this study utilized perfobond rib (PBL) connectors as anti-cracking structure at the steel-ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) interface. The performance was evaluated through four-point bending tests on eight specimens, observing crack development, failure pattern, and load-deflection response. Results showed satisfactory crack resistance of the PBL connectors at the interface, even outperforming the cast-on-site reinforced UHPC section. The number and size of holes in the PBL connectors, as well as their placement direction, significantly affected the crack resistance. An analytical model was proposed to describe the cracking mechanism at the steel-UHPC interface, demonstrating satisfactory accuracy when compared with test results. Sensitivity analyses revealed that the initial cracking strength of the interface was most sensitive to the height of the PBL connectors.

Experimental behaviors of square concrete filled steel tubular columns with PBL stiffeners

Jiahao Guo et al.

Summary: This paper presents the test results of various stiffened square CFST stub columns under axial compression, focusing on the influence of stiffener thickness and stiffening method on the ultimate strength and ductility of the columns. The study found that the ultimate strength and ductility of square CFST columns with diagonal binding ribs were significantly higher as the thickness of the stiffener increased. A calculation method based on the confined concrete constitutive model and the local buckling of steel tubes was proposed for predicting the ultimate strength of square CFST with diagonal binding ribs.

Shear behavior of flexible-sleeve perfobond strip connectors: Experimental and analytical studies

Yangming Xu et al.

Summary: Flexible-sleeve perfobond strip connectors (SPBL) are an effective solution for connecting steel and concrete members in composite structures. Push-out tests were conducted to evaluate the structural performance of SPBL connectors. The results showed that the plastic sleeves surrounding the transverse rebars improved the connector's stiffness and ductility, and reduced uneven effects among multi-hole connectors. Existing formulas for single-hole connectors were not applicable for predicting the shear capacity of multi-hole SPBL connectors.

Staggered-Supported Steel Anchor Box System for Cable-Stayed Bridges

Huanwei Liang et al.

Summary: This paper presents a novel anchorage structure, called the staggered-supported steel anchor box(SS-SAB), for reducing the load on the concrete pylon. The SS-SAB provides self-balancing of the horizontal component of the cable tension force during cable tensioning and transfers the vertical load to the concrete pylon through staggered support. It can tolerate forces within the spatial cable plane and reduce cracking risks of the concrete pylon. Tests and numerical analysis demonstrate that the SS-SAB can delay crack occurrences in the concrete pylon and the cable angle has an influence on load sharing within the pylon.

Investigation on shear behavior of studs and PBL shear connectors in steel-concrete hybrid bridge girder

Hui Xu et al.

Summary: Steel-concrete composite structures are widely used in civil engineering due to the excellent properties of concrete and steel. This research focuses on the shear behavior of stud and PBL shear connectors, conducting experimental and numerical studies. The results show that the number of rows of shear connectors and the diameter of the transverse rebar significantly affect the shear capacity, while the concrete dowel diameter has limited impact. A combination that aligns with both the test and FE analysis results with discrepancies less than 5% is recommended for predicting the shear capacity of these connectors.

Atsushi Suzuki et al.

Summary: In this study, a finite element analysis model was constructed to investigate the cyclic behaviour of perfobond shear connectors under fully reversed cyclic stress. Parameters such as concrete dowel area, crosssectional area of penetrating reinforcement, and concrete strength were studied, revealing that the new evaluation equation has higher accuracy in predicting the ultimate shear strength. This research provides valuable insights for the future application of perfobond shear connectors.

Experimental and analytical study on tensile performance of perfobond connector in bridge engineering application

Yangqing Liu et al.

Summary: The study investigated the tensile behavior of perfobond shear connectors (PBLs) and found that residual separation was negligible when the tension force was below 30 percent of the capacity. Through finite element modeling and parameter analysis, it was concluded that concrete strength and embedded depth have significant effects on the tensile capacity and stiffness of PBLs.

Mechanical behavior of perfobond connector group in steel-concrete joint of hybrid bridge

Yang Zou et al.

Summary: The perfobond connector is widely used in long-span hybrid bridges, and its performance directly affects the reliability of the connection and the smoothness of force transmission. Numerical analysis shows that the stress on the steel beam loading side is significantly higher than that on the concrete loading side at the initial stage of loading, and the connector has enough slip capacity for uniform distribution of interface shear. Theoretical analysis indicates that the effective utilization ratio of the connector group can be improved by adjusting the connector spacing, interface stiffness, steel-concrete joint length, and axial stiffness of concrete and steel members.

Investigation on structural performance of perfobond strip connector group in steel-concrete joints

Shaohua He et al.

Summary: The paper introduces a mathematical approach to assess the ultimate resistance of PBL group under the RD fracture failure mode. Experimental results show a significant reduction in average resistance of single PBL in a connector group as connector number increased. The proposed approach is validated by an experimental database and can be extensively applied to the PBL group using normal concrete and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC).
