Análisis de la resistencia a corte de los conectores tipo ángulo con un espesor de 6 milímetros en losas de hormigón armado sobre estructura metálica

Abstract

As is well known, the main function of the use of connectors is to transmit shear forces from the steel beam to the concrete slab and vice versa, in addition to providing a tie between these structural elements. In this project, the strength of angle type shear connectors welded to the beam skid in L and V position is analyzed. Six push out test with cyclic loading and two with monotonic loading were carried out, and the load-slip curves were evaluated to find the shear strength, slip, ductility, stiffness and dissipated energy. It was obtained that the angle connectors in L position support a lower load, but have a higher ductility with respect to the connectors located in V position. Therefore, they develop a higher energy dissipation. In both cases the stiffness decreases as the slip increases.
