Feasibility of using bolted shear connector with cold-formed steel in composite construction
Mustapha Muhammad Lawan1, Mahmood Md. Tahir2, Emad Hosseinpour3.
In conventional composite construction for hot-rolled steel (HRS) section, the composite
action is usually achieved by using headed studs shear connectors. But, for cold-formed
steel (CFS) section, the use of headed studs is not feasible as the section is very thin and
difficult to be weld. Therefore, an innovative way of shear connection mechanism of using
bolt and nut is suggested in this study. This paper presents the feasibility of using bolt as
shear connector by presenting experimental test results so as to explore more on their
capability to be used as shear connectors. The study investigated the structural capability
of the proposed bolted shear connector when used in concrete known as Selfcompacting
concrete (SCC) integrated with CFS to provide the required composite
action. Push out test specimens with bolted shear connector of grade 8.8 at designated
intervals longitudinally spaced were fabricated, cast and tested to failure. The results
showed that the proposed shear connector was structurally capable and also an
appreciable strength resistance was achieved.
