Résumé :
[en] To successfully facilitate the construction sector's transition toward sustainability, there is an urgent need for alternatives to the existing practices which are not sustainable. Steel-timber composite (STC) beams, which combine a down-standing steel beam and a timber slab for flooring systems, show large potential as sustainable alternative to conventional steel-concrete composite systems. In STC systems the shear connection is a key element that keeps the elements together and ensures effective composite action. This study presents a comprehensive experimental assessment of novel shear connections for demountable STC beams and flooring systems. The research focused on three newly developed bolted shear connector types: SCT-1, SCT-2, and SCT-3, each incorporating a different shear connection device designed to protect the timber and enable the attainment of the required preload for high-strength bolts. These novel shear connections represent a robust and sustainable alternative to conventional connections, offering superior protection to structural elements. The connections were tested in a double-symmetric push-out test setup, implementing laminated veneer lumber (LVL) plates connected to HEB steel profiles. Their performance was assessed in terms of their load-slip responses, stiffness, and failure mode. The load-slip responses were found to be nonlinear, and the connectors exhibited a significant deformation capacity (greater than 40 mm slip). The results of this study indicate load-bearing capacities per shear connector at a 6 mm slip of 95.7 kN, 104.4 kN, and 120.2 kN for SCT-1, SCT-2, and SCT-3, respectively. Additionally, the maximum loads per shear connector were recorded as 161.4 kN for SCT-1, 173.1 kN for SCT-2, and 163.8 kN for SCT-3. Furthermore, the shear connections introduced in this study offer ease of installation and facilitate the assembly and disassembly of components.
