Abstract
In applying various steel-concrete composite structures and hybrid structures, it is difficult to conduct the entire model test of the structure. Therefore, behaviors of the actual structure are predicted by conducting the scaled model test, the partial model test or the numerical analysis. Then, the focusing points such as the behavior of the shear connectors are confirmed in the scaled model test or the partial model test. The element test which investigates the behavior of the shear connector is also conducted. However, it is not clarified that the behavior of the shear connector in element test can simulate the one in the actual hybrid structure and to confirm this point is the problem. Here, the experimental results of the steel-concrete composite beam and corresponding element test is explained in detail. In particular, the relation between the beam test and element test focusing the behavior of the shear connector is also investigated.
