Ductility of shear stud Recently one of our Indian clients asked the question about the reduction of area of shear stud, and he only knows the elongation of shear stud, the two parameters belong to the ductility of shear stud. This post will talk this topic. The shear studs(also called shear connectors) are
BS5950 Stud Shear Connectors BS5950 in Wikipedia BS 5950 is a withdrawn British Standard for the design, fabrication, and erection of structural steelwork. It does not apply to bridges, which are covered by BS 5400. BS 5950 replaced BS 449, which used a permissible stress approach, and uses limit state
How to test mechanical properties of shear stud? Metals used in fastener(shear stud, bolt, etc) manufacture are elastic materials which will stretch (elongate) under applied loads and return to their original shape when the load is removed. However, if sufficient load is applied, the material will stretch beyond its yield point and enter a
