Shear behavior and analytical model of T-type perfobond rib connectors
Archives of Civil and Mechanical Engineering(2023)
摘要
The stress of shear connectors becomes more complicated with the increase of the span length of steel–concrete composite bridges. To ensure sufficient stiffness and ductility, a T-type perfobond rib (T-type PBL) shear connector is proposed. However, its mechanical behavior is not well understood due to the special shape and numerous influencing factors. Therefore, sixty-three finite element models were established based on the push-out test specimens with T-type PBL connectors to investigate the shear behavior and influencing parameters of ultimate bearing capacity. The effects of concrete end-bearing, perforated reinforcement, hole diameter, rib height, and flange width of T-type PBL on the shear-bearing capacity were performed and discussed based on the numerical results. The results showed that the bearing capacity provided by the concrete end-bearing and the perforated reinforcements was about 16% and 10% of the ultimate load. Additionally, the ductility of the specimen could be improved by the perforated reinforcements. It was showed that the shear-bearing capacity increased nonlinearly with the growth of the hole diameter. When the height of rib increased from 80 to 120 mm, the shear-bearing capacity was improved by 12% on average. The impact of flange width on the shear-bearing capacity was insignificant, which was less than 1.5%. Based on the results of parametric analysis. An analytical model for shear-bearing capacity of the T-type perfobond rib shear connector was established, and the validity was verified by relative test results. A basis for the evaluation of shear-bearing capacity, and application of the T-type PBL connectors was provided in this paper.
