Abstract
This paper describes an experimental study of partial strength composite steel-concrete joints which employ the use of a steel beam with composite slab formed from metal decking. The experiments are novel as they include the use of a concrete-filled square hollow section with the presence of blind bolts which facilitates rapid erection and construction. Furthermore, the experiments also explore the use of partial shear connection using various quantities of headed shear studs. The inclusion of partial shear connection has the ability to increase the rotational capacity in the joint regions and has the benefit of improving a semi-continuous composite beam system for satisfying the important ductility limit state.
