To address the limitations of mechanical shear connectors, adhesives are used in this research as shear connectors of steel-concrete composite beams (SCCBs). Several groups of bending tests were ...

As lateral load-bearing elements, composite beams with web openings (CBWOs) optimize the synergistic material properties of steel and concrete while effectively reducing structural height through ...

Concrete slabs form the backbone of countless industrial and material-handling facilities. Whether supporting heavy machinery, mezzanines, pallet racks, or conveyors, a slab must be able to bear ...
