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...
Test method for determining the shear modulus of elastomeric bearings Topkaya, Cem (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2002-06-01) The shear modulus of the elastomer is the most important material property related to the behavior of elastomeric bearings used principally at supports in bridges. Current methods for determining the shear modulus usually require small test samples cut from manufactured bearings. Such tests are costly, do not necessarily represent the performance of the full-size bearing, and are destructive. A new shear test method, called the inclined compression test, is reported that is nondestructive and only requires ...
Analytical prediction of thermal displacement capacity of integral bridges built on sand Dicleli, Murat (SAGE Publications, 2005-02-01) In this research, analytical equations are developed to calculate the lateral displacement capacity and maximum length limits of integral bridges built on sand based on the low-cycle fatigue performance of the piles under cyclic thermal variations and the ultimate strength of the abutment under positive thermal variations. To formulate the displacement capacity and maximum length limits of integral bridges based on the low cycle fatigue performance of steel H-piles under cyclic thermal variations, first, H-...
Analysis of the flexural strength of prestressed concrete flanged sections Baran, Eray; French, Catherine (Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, 2005-01-01) Inconsistencies in the sectional response of prestressed concrete flanged sections predicted by the AASHTO LRFD and AASHTO Standard Specifications, including the maximum reinforcement limits, may arise due to different interpretations of the equivalent rectangular compressive stress block idealization. Strain compatibility analyses with nonlinear material properties were performed for a variety of non-rectangular prestressed concrete sections to identify the inconsistencies between the two specifications. R...
