Shear stud connectors occupy a strategic place in construction. Literally. Not only are they an important part of the construction, but also a lot of thought has gone into shear stud spacing. The growing popularity of prefabricated material has deeply impacted the placement and spacing of stud connectors. While working with permanent framework, space needs to be allowed for seating of the framework according the the manufacturer’s requirements.

At Artech, we emphasize on understanding the nuances of construction in detail. As it adapts to the changes in the industry, the company has developed a series of perimeters that could help engineers get the most out of stud connectors.

Here are four critical questions that we think an engineer should ask while placing stud connectors:

• Will the plane section remain plane? or will it be affected by weather, wear out and lose surface
• Would the steel flange buckle?
• What is the bursting force from group of connectors?
• Did you take vertical separation into consideration?

shear stud spacing calculation

Shear stud connector spacing and placement depends on the shear force between the girders and slab in composite bridges. The guidelines for calculating the resistance of beams under various conditions have been illustrated in the BS-EN 1994-2 document.

Shear stud spacing is generally measured ‘on center’. This means the distance from the center of one stud to the center of the adjacent stud. Measuring stud spacing in this way is important because it eliminated the confusion that could be created when different types of shear studs are used in a construction. No matter what the width of the stud, shear stud spacing measurements are always calculated from the center.

How to find quality shear stud connectors in India

The market for shear stud connectors is price-sensitive. When it comes to composite decking, the quality of shear stud connectors cannot be compromised. Indian manufacturers are considerably relying on expensive imported shear stud connectors for quality. Closer to home, Artech works to make international standard headed shear studs available to domestic manufacturers at reasonable price points. We provide a wide range of shear connectors with shank diameters from 13, 16, 19, 22 and 25 mm, and varying lengths. High-quality bare metal or through deck ceramic ferrules suitable to the connectors are also supplied after considering the application type.
