Numerical studies on shear resistance of headed stud connectors in different concretes under Arctic low temperature

TL;DR: In this paper, the axial compressive behaviour of concrete stub columns confined by steel tubes was evaluated at low temperatures of 30'~'−80'°C relevant to cold regions.

TL;DR: In this article, a stud-bolt connector was used to regulate its shear behaviour in sandwich panels and a new formula was also established to determine the shear strength of steel-concrete-steel panels with this kind of connectors.

TL;DR: In this article , a bending test was conducted on eight specimens to investigate the mechanical behavior of steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich panels with headed studs, taking into account the effects including loading mode, steel plate thickness, concrete core thickness and connectors spacing, and one sandwich panel was used as a control specimen.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new plastic-damage model for concrete subjected to cyclic loading is developed using the concepts of fracture-energy-based damage and stiffness degradation in continuum damage mechanics.

TL;DR: The Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (Code) as mentioned in this paper covers the materials, design, and construction of structural concrete used in buildings and where applicable in nonbuilding structures, including the strength evaluation of existing concrete structures.

TL;DR: By using a probabilistic geology-based methodology, the United States Geological Survey has assessed the area north of the Arctic Circle and concluded that about 30% of the world’s undiscovered gas and 13% of its undiscovered oil may be found there, mostly offshore under less than 500 meters of water.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first studies on stud shear connectors were undertaken by Viest, who tested full scale pushout specimens with various sizes and spacings of the studs.
