Abstract
This dissertation summarizes a comprehensive experimental and numerical study investigating the behavior of steel-concrete composite slabs and beams under static and cyclic loading. The experimental investigation was conducted in two phases. The first phase involved testing of 8 push-out specimens with profiled steel sheeting highlighting the effects of different loading (static and cyclic), concrete strength, welding process and stud diameter and length on shear capacity of headed studs. The capacities of shear connection obtained from the experimental tests were compared with the design strengths calculated using the American Specification, and European Code for headed stud shear connectors in composite slabs with profiled steel sheeting perpendicular to the steel beam. A relationship between load failure and number of cycles was concluded from results of push-out test in addition to previous studies. On the other hand, the second phase investigated the behavior of three full-scale composite slabs and three full-scale composite beams tested under static, monotonic and cyclic loadings.
