Horizontal shear force acting on shear connectors in steel-concrete composite bridge decks has been basically designed by using Design Code for Steel Structures PART B so far. However, Specifications for Highway Bridges were revised in 2017 and the design load condition became different between them. In this study, shear force was analyzed by using elastic FE programs when T-type loads specified in the Specifications for Highway Bridges were applied on steel-concrete composite bridge decks. From the analytical results, the maximum shear force was presented at each loading position. Furthermore, from case studies, sharing ratio of the horizontal shear force acting on headed stud connectors was determined.
