Shear connector uses in building & construction
The use of steel has been growing in India since 1990s. Beginning with warehouses and other commercial buildings, it is poised to enter into residential construction in the present day. Steel can withstand a considerably higher level of stress than conventional concrete. Steel buildings could stand erect during calamities such as earthquakes where conventional buildings tend to falter.
Secondly, the use of pre-engineered steel components could reduce the construction time of big projects by around 50%. As constructions are finished faster, it could help builders save costs on factors such as labour. In the long run, steel building also prove easier and cheaper to maintain.
In steel construction, shear stud connectors are used to connect upright steel beams to a concrete foundation or to connect load-bearing beams with concrete flooring in multi-storied buildings. Apart from serving as concrete-to-beam connections, shear connectors reinforce the connection by providing a resistance to shear load stresses. In most cases, shear studs that are typically used in steel composite construction have a height range (in mm) of 125, 150, 175, 200, and 250, while their diameter stands in the range (in mm) of 16,19, 22 and 25 mm.
Shear stud design as well as the way they are spaced is vital to ensuring an even distribution of shear flow in composite structures. When shear flow must be resisted a particular locations, shear studs are placed at a distance. The spacing of shear connectors can be adjusted to meet the budget of the project.
Robust yet economical for innovative structures
From the mighty stadiums to the modern day homes, steel is fast emerging as the material of choice for construction. Artech’s shear stud connectors are widely used in all kinds of buildings – regular and iconic structures. Starting from the large Sports Stadiums, Airports, IT Parks, Commercial Spaces, Healthcare facilities, Multi-storied Parking Lots, PEB Factories up to home roofing, our shear connector studs are used across. The applications include supporting the steel structural elements and decking for steel sheets.
