Shear connectors between concrete slabs and steel beams in composite constructions play an important role in the seismic response of a structure. Headed stud and Perfobond shear connectors are the most common types of shear connectors while the application of C-shaped shear connectors was increasing over the last decade. Since there are some limitations in the use of headed studs and Perfobond connectors, the use of C-shaped shear connectors is recommended. In this book, the behavior of C-shaped angle shear connectors embedded in high strength concrete are presented. The connectors were...
