Shear Connector
Shear connectors are typically used in composite steel construction for holding concrete slabs to steel members to resist shear forces and increase shear loading capacity in steel buildings, bridges, columns caissons, containment liners, etc. They also act as embedment anchors on miscellaneous embedded plates, frames, angles, strip plates, attachments and connections.
Shear Connector Detail
Boltility Supplies shear studs that are made of the following materials, as specifed on individual specifications sheets. Test reports of chemical properties and physical properties are available upon request. All mechanical and chemical properties are independent of stud size or shape.
