Shear behavior of short headed studs in Steel-ECC composite structure

Engineering cementitious composite (ECC) is a promising candidate as the overlay material of orthotropic steel bridge deck (OSBD), to improve the durability and extend the service life. The mechanical performance of short headed stud connectors in steel-ECC composite structure has been limited studied. This study investigated the shear behavior of short headed studs embedded in ECC through experimental push-out tests and validated finite element...
