Numerical modeling of composite steel-concrete beams with truss type shear connector

Resumo

Numerical analysis, when properly calibrated, presents itself as an important tool for the study and
development of new technologies. The truss type shear connector appears as a technically and economically viable
alternative, however its use in composite steel and concrete beams still needs to be studied and analyzed. For this
reason, in the present work, a non-linear three-dimensional model of composite steel and concrete beams with
lattice shear connector was developed, seeking to analyze the efficiency of the alternative connector. The
methodology used in the modeling was validated through experimental studies in the literature.
