Shear resistance behavior of partially composite Steel-Concrete-Steel sandwich beams considering bond-slip effect

This study develops a new steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich beam with hybrid shear connectors comprising both J-hooks and overlapped headed studs. For partially composite SCS sandwich beams, bond-slip is a critical factor influencing the transverse shear resistance of the beam. Thus, this study examines the effect of the degree of composite action and the mechanism of such sandwich beams by testing eight SCS sandwich beams with different shear...
