Comportamiento de los conectores de cortante tipo tornillo de resistencia grado dos para una sección compuesta con concreto de 28 mpa

En Colombia el uso de los conectores de cortante tipo tornillo ha sido cada vez mayor; sin embargo, estos se han venido diseñando de acuerdo con los parámetros establecidos en las Normas Colombianas de Diseño Sismorresistente (NSR-98), requisitos establecidos para conectores tipo espigo. Este trabajo constituye un punto de partida del análisis del comportamiento de los conectores tipo tornillo en secciones compuestas. En la parte experimental se elaboraron 54 probetas compuestas por un perfil metálico y dos placas de concreto donde se encuentran embebidos los conectores. Se utilizaron tornillos con diámetros de 1/2” (12,7 mm), 5/8” (15,9 mm) y 3/4” (19,1 mm), colocados a diferentes separaciones, estas probetas fueron ensayadas a corte directo, y con los datos obtenidos se proponen las ecuaciones para la determinación de la resistencia de este tipo de conectores en secciones compuestas acero–concreto.Screw shear connectors are being more commonly used in compound concrete sections in Colombia; however, they have been designed in line with Colombian Seismic-Resistant Standards (NSR-98) rather than those established for stud shear connectors. This work represents a starting point for analysing screw shear connector behaviour. 54 specimens were made for the experiment, consisting of a metallic profile and two concretes slabs where the connectors were embedded. 1/2” (12.7mm), 5/8” (15.9mm) and 3/4” (19.1mm) diameter screws were used and placed at different distances. The push-out test was used with these specimens and results were provided by using some equations for determining this type of connector’s strength in steel–concrete sections
