Shear behavior of prefabricated steel–concrete connectors in prefabricated steel–concrete composite beams by Fengli Zhou, Huaping Liang, Jinlong Jiang, Zhixiang Zhou, Yang Zou

“…Abstract Stud connectors are widely used to realize the shear connection of steel girders and prefabricated bridge decks in prefabricated steel–concrete composite beams. However, the dense arrangement of stud connectors in the combined bending and shear region makes fabricating prefabricated bridge decks difficult and weakens their integrity. …”

Effect of Corrosion on Fatigue Failure of Composite Girders with Corrugated Web on Steel Bottom Plate by Pulu Han, Genhui Wang, Xuejun Jin

“…The ultimate failure mode of a pitting fatigue crack was when the crack length reached the thickness of the plate and the component was torn and destroyed; (5) following corrosion, the fatigue life of the test girder was found to be reduced by 10.65%, which suggests that salt corrosion had a significant impact on the fatigue life of the composite girder. …”

Study on triaxial mechanical behavior and energy evolution of composite rock with coplanar double fractures by Yujie SI, Taoli XIAO, Hao YUAN, Haicheng SHE, Yunfeng ZHAO

“…The results indicate that: ① The increase of fracture inclination angle and confining pressure has an optimization effect on the mechanical properties of the rock sample, and the increase of fracture length has a deterioration effect on it. In addition, when the composite rock changes from unidirectional stress to three-directional stress, the mechanical properties change sharply and are significantly optimized. ② With the increase of fracture inclination, length and confining pressure, the energy of composite rock presents a U-shaped distribution, decreasing and increasing law respectively, and the energy loss mainly occurs after the damage stress. ③ During the deformation and loading process of rock samples, the microcracks generated are mainly tensile cracks, while shear cracks mainly occur after damage stress. …”
