Intro to Shear Connectors
Engineers are always looking for new ways to improve their construction projects, and one of the best ways to reinforce beams and joints of different materials, especially for steel and concrete, are shear connectors. Using shear connectors allows composite materials, like steel and concrete, to come together seamlessly. There are different shear connectors for various tensile strengths, shear strengths, and compression strengths, making sure that they work perfectly for any building project. What Are Shear Connectors? Shear connectors are fasteners which can be used to secure a building or an object to concrete or steel. They can help distribute shear…
