摘要
In this study, two new types of composite shear connectors made of hollow square and circular pultruded GFRP (glass fibre reinforced polymer) profiles were proposed for composite prefabricated concrete sandwich panel (PCSP). A total of 20 specimens (two specimens for each parameter) were prepared and double shear tests were carried out to investigate the shear resistance and failure modes of the proposed connectors. The effects of connector direction, thickness of insulation, and shape of the connectors were studied and discussed by comparing the shear force-slip responses of the connectors. It was revealed that the connectors installed in tension direction could provide significantly higher shear resistance compared to the connectors installed in a straight or compression direction. The shear force resisted by connectors in tension direction was more than two times that of connectors in straight direction, which have been most commonly used. Despite having similar dimensions, the square connectors provided better shear resistance than the circular connectors, owing to their greater cross-sectional area and moment of inertia. In addition, the combination of connectors in tension and compression directions enhanced the stiffness of the connectors in resisting the shear force.
