Abstract
Steel-concrete composite systems have seen extensive use in recent decades because of the benefits of combining the two construction materials. Reinforced concrete is inexpensive, massive and stiff, while steel members are strong, lightweight and easy to assemble. The object of this paper is to provide deeper insight into the nonlinear seismic response on the behaviour of composite structures and how they are influenced by various loading conditions. The results of the experimental study enable the authors herein to develop a new and improved shear connectors and beam-column connection for composite steel-concrete structures under seismic loading. The experimental results showed a notable strength and ductile behaviour. An optimised and economic shear connector and blind bolts was obtained. The failure patterns, failure mechanism, ductility and stiffness degradation are discussed. Furthermore, the finite element analyses are in good agreement with the experimental study.
