Project

About
The objective of this project is to parse the existing testing data into subsets in order to examine if higher available strength is available in specific subsets.
AISC 360-22 specifically permits a performance-based alternative for the design of shear connectors.
551 push-out test data for shear studs installed through steel deck is established from the literature.
The database can be used for data and reliability analysis of shear connectors.
The vertical axis represents the stud strength normalized by the nominal resistance specified in AISC 360.
