Experimental investigation on novel shear connections for demountable steel-timber composite (STC) beams and flooring systems. (LAJ24.B)

open access: yes
To successfully facilitate the construction sector's transition toward sustainability, there is an urgent need for alternatives to the existing practices which are not sustainable. Steel-timber composite (STC) beams, which combine a down-standing steel beam and a timber slab for flooring systems, show large potential as sustainable alternative to ...

Circular Economy in High-Seismicity Andean Zones: A Circular Seismic Design Framework for Reusable Steel Moment Connections with Demountable Shear Tabs — Life Cycle Assessment and Normative Adaptation for Peru

open access: yes
Abstract The construction sector contributes 39% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with structural steel manufacturing responsible for 8% of that total. In high-seismicity regions, conventional permanent steel moment connections are irreversibly damaged during seismic events, generating an average of 120 kg of steel waste per ...

Demountable steel-concrete composite beam with full-interaction and low degree of shear connection

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2020
Abstract It is suitable to use precast steel-concrete composite beams to quickly assemble a bridge or a building, particularly in isolated regions where cast-in-situ concrete is not a practical option. If steel-concrete composite beams are designed to allow demountability, they can also be extremely useful in the aftermath of natural disasters, such ...

Behavior of downstand simply supported steel‐concrete composite beam applying friction based demountable shear connection

Ce/Papers, 2021
AbstractIn order to improve sustainability of composite structures and promote the principles of circular economy in construction industry, novel demountable shear connector based on the frictional behavior was developed within the framework of Work package 2 of parent project ECON4SD (Eco Construction for Sustainable Development) at the University of ...

Behaviour of a Demountable Continuous Shear Connection in Steel‐Concrete Composite Beams

Ce/Papers
Abstract Abstract: A demountable continuous shear connection is proposed to improve the reusability of steel‐concrete composite beams and promote the development of a circular economy in construction. Unlike traditional welded shear studs and bolted shear connections, this continuous shear connection consists of a steel bar with ...
