Abstract

To address the limitations of mechanical shear connectors, adhesives are used in this research as shear connectors of steel-concrete composite beams (SCCBs). Several groups of bending tests were conducted to compare the flexural behavior of bonded and mechanical SCCBs. Moreover, the results show that the failure modes of the bonded SCCBs mainly include yielding of the bottom flange of the I-beam and the cracking of the concrete bottom surface, local detachment between the two bonding surfaces and the crushing of the concrete slab at the top surface. The rigidity of the bonded SCCB is higher than that of the mechanical one. In addition, the ultimate load of the bonded SCCB connected by 6 mm thick epoxy resin is the highest, which is about 16.8% higher than that of mechanical one. Furthermore, increasing the adhesive layer's thickness can improve the adhesive performance to a certain extent. Thus, it is suggested that the adhesive thickness should exceed 4 mm, and 6 mm is the optimal. In addition, as local detachment of the adhesive layer occurred in this test, further research can be carried out to avoid such damage.

期刊介绍： We publish original research from all areas of the natural sciences, psychology, medicine and engineering. You can learn more about what we publish by browsing our specific scientific subject areas below or explore Scientific Reports by browsing all articles and collections. Scientific Reports has a 2-year impact factor: 4.380 (2021), and is the 6th most-cited journal in the world, with more than 540,000 citations in 2020 (Clarivate Analytics, 2021). •Engineering Engineering covers all aspects of engineering, technology, and applied science. It plays a crucial role in the development of technologies to address some of the world''s biggest challenges, helping to save lives and improve the way we live. •Physical sciences Physical sciences are those academic disciplines that aim to uncover the underlying laws of nature — often written in the language of mathematics. It is a collective term for areas of study including astronomy, chemistry, materials science and physics. •Earth and environmental sciences Earth and environmental sciences cover all aspects of Earth and planetary science and broadly encompass solid Earth processes, surface and atmospheric dynamics, Earth system history, climate and climate change, marine and freshwater systems, and ecology. It also considers the interactions between humans and these systems. •Biological sciences Biological sciences encompass all the divisions of natural sciences examining various aspects of vital processes. The concept includes anatomy, physiology, cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics, and covers all organisms from microorganisms, animals to plants. •Health sciences The health sciences study health, disease and healthcare. This field of study aims to develop knowledge, interventions and technology for use in healthcare to improve the treatment of patients.
