Abstract
The purpose of the present paper is to investigate dynamic behavior of new types of shear connectors between a corrugated web and a concrete flange in a composite girder. The shear connectors used here are (1) studs welded to the top flange; (2) holes with penetrating reinforcement placed on the top of the corrugated web; (3) the holes with penetrating reinforcement and wire net. The two-point fatigue tests in which the composite girder is placed in a simply supported condition and loaded dynamic manner were conducted using the above three types of shear connectors. Experimental results reveal that, , holes with penetrating reinforcement are more effective than studs in the case of composite girders with corrugated web.
