Abstract
In majority of massive structures like bridges and tall buildings there is frequent usage of composite constructions as structural elements. These structures are made of a concrete slab and rolled up steel pieces. By employing shear connectors to join the steel section and concrete slab, the composite action is established. The usage of four distinct shear connector types have been examined in this study, and the optimal connector for a given composite beam has been determined based on how well it performs under static loads while preserving the loading and the amount of steel in the connector as a common factor.
