Issue: #4 2021

According to the existing practice of composite structure design, shear connectors, which provide an interaction of supporting steel beams and reinforced concrete slabs, can be considered as ductile or non-ductile. Taking into account the ductility of connectors allows designer to create an optimal structure from an economic point of view and increase its earthquake resistance. Within the framework of this study, the results of push-testing composite specimen conducted by the authors earlier are considered. The powder-actuated shear connectors had been used for providing interaction between the steel and reinforced concrete parts. In conclusion, the assessment of the ductility and expediency of using powder-actuated shear connectors for earthquake-resistant construction is given.
