Finite element modelling of shear connectors in composite steel beams

This thesis discusses of the overall performance to behave the shear stud in the composite steel beam The work has been modeled by using ANSYS APDL program. Under of the influence of lateral horizontal pressure. The structure analyzed is the composite beam slab, beam section (254 X 254 X 73 kg/m) with slab (1600mm length 1200mm width and 150mm high) and 6 headed studs 19mm diameter with 100mm high Featuring a single row of pointed studs spaced at 150mm intervals. First the stud is placed 200mm from the end of the slabs on both sides. Headed studs and the value of the limited load are the most relevant dimensions for the aims of this study. One parameter was changed the change was in load value. The resulting composite steel was analyzed for each change in a parameter. The results were compared to those from the experimental, which revealed a possible alternate analysis that included the selected changes. It has also been studied the Von-mises stresses and Stress Intensity; it is found through structural analysis that there are stresses in area of the studs resistance to horizontal slips caused by lateral pressure loading. Four composite steel were evaluated at each parameter and would chick with other the factors. For this aim a software utilizing Parametric analysis using ANSYS. Language of Design (APDL) is constructed to examine the behavior of the structure.
