Welded connectors are commonly utilized in steel-concrete composite construction. However, these connectors lack demountability, hindering the recycling or reuse of steel sections. In response to this limitation, high-strength bolts have been proposed as alternatives to traditional welded shear connectors to facilitate demountability. Nevertheless, the use of numerous high-strength bolts may negatively impact construction costs due to their limited capacity. This paper introduces a novel solution: the bolted angle shear connector. Comprising a standard angle section, a smaller size angle section functioning as a hat, and a high-strength bolt, this connector aims to balance the demountability advantage while avoiding the drawbacks associated with high-strength bolts. To assess its performance, the proposed connector was embedded into a solid concrete block, and horizontal pushout tests were conducted on 31 specimens. Variables considered included the angle section size, bolt diameter, bolt grade, concrete compressive strength, loading direction, and bolt thread condition. The findings reveal that the proposed connectors demonstrate a ductile response, meeting the mandated slip capacity of at least 6 mm according to EN 1994–1-1. Two distinct failure modes were observed: bolt fracture and a combination of concrete crushing and angle bending. The shear resistances at 6 mm slip ranged from 146 kN to 280 kN, influenced by the angle size and concrete compressive strength. Capacities were formulated as functions of these variables, leading to the development of design recommendations, which are presented in this paper.
