Numerical Evaluation of the Perfobond (PBL) Shear Connector Subjected to Lateral Pressure Using Coupled Rigid Body Spring Model (RBSM) and Nonlinear Solid Finite Element Method (FEM)
An analytical investigation focusing on the concrete damage progress of the PBL shear connector under the influence of various lateral pressures, employing a coupled RBSM and solid FEM model was carried out. The analytical model succeeded in simulating the test shear capacities and the failure modes...
