Experimental analysis of a mechanical shear connector in concrete filled steel tube column

ABSTRACT This work includes an analytical and experimental study of the structural behavior of shear connectors in composite columns, composed of concrete-filled circular hollow section. For this study was adopted a structural bolt like a shear connector in order to verify the validity of the analytical expressions in ABNT NBR 16239: 2014 [1]. Was carried out a series of push-out tests, fixing the outer diameter of the hollow section and varying the thickness, the bolt diameter, the strength of concrete and the hole dimension. Analysis of the results shows that is possible to use this type of shear connector. The Brazilian prescriptions results are conservative and may be adjusted to provide strength capacity value closest to the experiment.
