Original Abstract

The article constitutes one of the modern methods of shear connection of composite steel-concrete beams, which is mainly used in bridge engineering where strength and fatigue durability is required. Such method using combination of rolled girders encased in a concrete slab and pcb (precast composite beam) technology is called pcb-W (precast composite beam – coupled in web) technology. This solution has been developing since 2003 in Germany and is widely used in many European counties (including Poland, Germany, France and Czech Republic). The longitudinal shear force is transformed by composite dowels instead of headed studs. The behavior of composite dowels is extremely complex. These connectors constitutes an integral part of composite beam, they are not only subjected to the global effects of bending and axial loading but to the local longitudinal shear acting between steel and concrete part as well. In order to understand the failure mechanism and verify the bearing capacity of composite dowels theoretical and experimental researches were carried out at the authors’ workplace.
