The use of precast decks in steel-concrete composite construction offers variety of advantages. Research to date has mostly focused on the use of headed stud connectors with hollow core precast decks for building structures. large number of connectors has to be used when headed studs are employed, which increases the labor required to fill the spaces with concrete, grout or mortar. In this paper, a new system is proposed where the headed studs are replaced with channel connectors to reduce the number of connectors. The proposed system was studied through a two-phase experimental program. In the first phase, 20 direct shear tests were conducted on channel connectors embedded in grout or mortar with different strengths. The size of the channel section and its length were considered as the prime variables. The test results showed that the channel connectors embedded in grout or mortar behave similar to conventional systems where the channel connectors interact with in-situ concrete. the second phase, four full scale composite beam tests were conducted for proof-of-concept where the degree of composite action was the prime variable. The test results showed that the proposed system offers strengths similar to conventional fully or partially composite beams and can be an alternative to the existing composite systems.

Behavior of channel connectors in steel-concrete composite beams with precast slabs Arıkoğlu, Pınar; Topkaya, Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) The use of precast decks in steel-concrete composite construction offers variety of advantages. Research to date has mostly focused on the use of headed stud anchors with hollow core precast decks for building structures. A large number of connectors has to be used when headed studs are employed, which increases the labor required to fill the spaces with grout or mortar. In this thesis a new system is proposed where the headed stud anchors are replaced with channel connectors. The use of channel connectors ...
Behavior and design of link slabs for jointless bridge decks Caner, Alp (Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, 1998-05-01) Maintenance of bridge deck joints is a costly problem. Debris accumulation in the joints can restrain deck expansion, causing undesirable forces in the deck and damage to the structure. Water leaking through the joints is a major cause for the deterioration of bridge girder bearings and supporting structures. Therefore, elimination of deck joints at the supports of multispan bridges will reduce the cost of construction and maintenance. This paper presents the results of a test program to investigate the beh...
Evolutionary structural optimization of steel gusset plates Khalaf, A. A.; Saka, M. P. (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-01) Evolutionary structural optimization is applied to determine the optimum shape of steel gusset plates subjected to axial forces. A number of different gusset plates used in various types of connections is considered for this purpose. The evolutionary structural optimization approach is employed to find the optimum shapes of a gusset plate used in these connections. The first example considers a gusset plate having two holes which are utilized in the connection of double angle carrying a tensile force. Withi...
Seismic performance of chevron braced steel frames with and without viscous fluid dampers as a function of ground motion and damper characteristics Dicleli, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2007-08-01) This study is aimed at comparing the seismic performance of steel chevron braced frames (CBFs) with and without viscous fluid dampers (VFDs) as a function of the intensity and frequency characteristics of the ground motion and VFD parameters. For this purpose, comparative nonlinear time history (NLTH) analyses of single and multiple story CBFs with and without VFDs are conducted using ground motions with various frequency characteristics scaled to represent small, moderate and large intensity earthquakes. A...
Fatigue in jointless bridge H-piles under axial load and thermal movements Karalar, Memduh; Dicleli, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-01) The seasonal and short-term temperature variations produce cyclic horizontal displacements in the continuous superstructure of jointless bridges and hence in the abutment piles. Thorough study of the available field measurement data for jointless bridges showed that the thermal-induced cyclic flexural strains in steel H-piles (SHPs) at the abutments are composed of large, primary small and secondary small flexural strain cycles. While the SHPs at the abutments of jointless bridges laterally deform and exper...
