Ponašanje grupe elastičnih moždanika kod spregnutih nosača od čelika i betona
Shear connection with headed studs in group arrangement is simple and frequently used solution for shear connection between steel beam and precast concrete slabs. Reducing the distance between the adjacent headed studs in the group enables smaller holes in the slab to accommodate grouped studs. This paper presents the research about the shear resistance of grouped studs and the main result published in PhD Thesis “The analysis of headed stud group behavior in composite steel-concrete beams” on University of Belgrade Faculty of Civil Engineering.Smičući spoj ostvaren grupom moždanika sa glavom je jednostavno i često korišćeno rešenje za podužni smičući spoj između čeličnog nosača i montažne armiranobetonske ploče.

Recent research on ductility of perforated shear connectors
Significant implementation of Perfobond shear connectors in construction of composite steel-concrete structures resluted in development of entirely new type of shear connectors, denoted as perforated shear connectors. Except the shear resistance of this type of shear connector, the overall behaviour of shear connection is strongly influenced by shear connector geometry. Ductility of shear connector, which is strongly influenced by connectors geometry, defines the behaviour of shear connection. The results of resent research on ductility of perforated shear connectors are obtained from numerical models which are calibrated with results of experimental investigation of this type of shear connector. The results of extensive numerical analysis were used for definition of direct relation between connectors ductility and geometry and presented in this paper
The analysis of headed studs group behavior in composite steel-concrete beam
Diskontinualni podužni smičući spoj ostvaren grupama moždanika je
jednostavno i široko rasprostranjeno rešenje za sprezanje čeličnih nosača i montažnih
armiranobetonskih ploča. Ovaj rad analizira mogućnost primene grupa moždanika sa
redukovanim rastojanjima između susednih moždanika u grupi. Osnovni cilj rada je da
se istraži mogućnost smanjenja rastojanja između susednih moždanika u grupi u odnosu
na minimalno propisana rastojanja. Smanjenje rastojanja između moždanika u grupi i
dimenzija grupe, omogućava izvođenje manjeg otvora u armiranobetonskoj montažnoj
ploči potrebnog za smeštaj moždanika. Prikazano je sopstveno eksperimentalno
istraživanje nosivosti grupa moždanika, sprovedeno na Građevinskom fakultetu
Univerziteta u Beogradu. Eksperimentalnim istraživanjem analizirana je mogućnost
primene grupe moždanika kod spregnutih greda u zgradarstvu. Ispitana je nosivost,
deformabilnost i ponašanje, podužnog smičućeg spoja ostvarenog grupama moždanika.
Glavni parametri analizirani u radu su: raspored moždanika u grupi, orijentacija grupe
moždanika u odnosu na pravac podužne sile smicanja i međusobno rastojanje
moždanika. Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno pet različitih dispozicija grupa od četiri
elastična moždanika sa glavom, kod kojih su međusobna rastojanja manja od minimalno
propisanih rastojanja u Evrokodu 4. Cilj istraživanja je i da se utvrdi kako smanjenje
minimalnih propisanih rastojanja između moždanika utiče na ponašanje, odnosno
nosivost, duktilnost i ukupne deformacije podužnog smičućeg spoja. Korišćeni
materijali, polazne pretpostavke i postupak ispitivanja su u skladu sa Evrokodom 4.
Metodom konačnih elemenata simulirano je eksperimentalno istraživanje a kalibrisan
numerički model sa eksperimentom je poslužio za izvođenje zaključaka o ponašanju
veze ostvarene grupom moždanika sa glavom. Uočeni su i definisani modeli loma koji
se mogu javiti u podužnim smičućim spojevima, formiranim grupama moždanika. Na
uočenim modelima loma definisana su granična stanja nosivosti grupe moždanika.

widespread solution for connection between steel beam and precast concrete element.
This thesis analyzes the possible applications of headed studs group with reduced
distances between adjacent headed studs in the group. The main objective of this study
was to investigate the possibility of reducing the spacing between adjacent headed studs
in the group compared to the minimum required in Eurocode 4. Reducing the distance
between the headed studs in the group and the dimensions of the group, would allow
construction of a smaller hole in the reinforced concrete precast plate needed to
accommodate the headed studs. The paper presents the results of the experimental
research conducted on push-out tests at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the
University of Belgrade. Throughout the experiment there has been analyzed the
possibility of using the headed studs group in composite beams for buildings. The
capacity, deformability and behavior of shear connection with grouped headed studs
was investigated (analyzed). A shape of group arrangement along with its orientation to
the applied load and distance between the studs were variables considered. The study
includes five different groups of four headed studs, with the distance between headed
studs less than the minimum distances required in Eurocode 4. The aim of the research
is to determine how the reduce of the minimum required distance between the headed
studs affects to the behavior, shear capacity, ductility and total longitudinal shear
deformation of the shear connection. The materials, initial assumptions and test set up
are in accordance with Eurocode 4. The FEM model is used to simulate the experiment.
Calibrated FEM models with push-out tests were used to draw conclusions about the
behavior of shear connection with group of headed studs. The fracture models which
can occur in longitudinal shear connection with headed studs group were identified and
defined in the paper. Ultimate limit state for headed stud group based on the fracture
models is defined. Parametric analysis, which included a models with different
diameters of headed studs and layout of groups were performed by numerical models.

Based on the results, the recommendations were derived for determining the shear
capacity of the headed studs group, when the distance between studs is less than
required by Code. The reduction coefficient was suggested to determine the shear
capacity of the headed studs group. Derived recommendations can be applied to shear
connections in composite steel-concrete beams applied in buildings..
Design recommendations of floor vibrations induced by human activities
Structural engineers are now facing with new demands towards long spans, lightweight floors in steelconcrete composite construction and big open interiors. Thеsе new design trends аrе leading to the extensive problems related to the serviceability limit state, especially problems with unwanted floor vibrations. Annoying vibrations caused by human activities are an important serviceability problem, which can significantly affect the comfort of people, quality of life and structures functionality. Over past years many design recommendations of floor vibrations induced by human activities have been published. This paper presents a short overview of dynamic loads modeling and design recommendations of floor vibrations induced by human activities
The influence of a roof mounted small-scale HAWT on headed studs fatigue resistance
Installation of small-scale wind turbines in urban regions can gain higher energy efficiency, considering that energy production takes place at the place of its consumption. The aim of this work is to investigate effects of installation of a small-scale horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) on a roof structure of an existing building. This paper is focused on fatigue resistance of headed studs that are preinstalled in the building roof composite steel-concrete deck to ensure shear connection and that are indirectly dynamically loaded during wind turbine operation. Turbulent wind profiles with mean wind speeds from 3 m/s up to 15 m/s are generated and applied on the model of HAWT with 5 m rotor diameter using Ashes software package. Time-dependent forces and bending moments induced by wind turbine operation are applied on the composite roof deck model. Based on the time-history of transverse force in the composite steel-concrete beam and wind speed records during a year, fatigue cumulative damage of headed studs is calculated according to Eurocode. It is obtained that installation of HAWT do not significantly affect residual life of headed studs with reference to fatigue

Numerical parametric study on steel-concrete composite floor beams vibrations due to pedestrian traffic
Human perception of floor vibrations and uncompromised serviceability of equipment are two most important acceptability criteria considering floor vibrations. While verification of deflection is a simple and well-known procedure in structures’ design for serviceability limit state, the fulfilment of floor vibrations acceptability criteria are presented in different standards in the form of various calculation procedures. Results achieved through those calculation procedures are presented in the form of various classification of floor structures. Classification of composite floor structures due to vibrations is inconsistent considering different calculation procedures. Comparison of various calculation procedures for the definition of composite floor vibrations is presented in this paper. In addition, a parametric analysis is performed on the wide range of steel-concrete composite floor structures, through analysis of various composite floor layouts and a wide range of imposed
loads values. The analysis of the relation between deflection, vertical vibrations and accelerations of steel-concrete composite floor beams is presented in this paper. The results of the parametric analysis are given through direct relation between deflections of composite beams and achieved floor class for the fulfilment of vibrations acceptability criteria due to the pedestrian walking
