  7. Abstract:
  8. The application of composite systems has rapidly advanced in bridge and building construction. Shear connectors are the most basic parts of the composite systems.The connectors transfer the shear forces between the slab and the beam. They also prevent separation of the slab from the beam.
    Therefore researchers have done widespread studies on the behavior of shear connectors and their load carrying capacity. Steel angles are one of the shear connectors that can be used incompositesystems. Only limited number ofstudies has investigated thebehavior of thistype of connector.
    The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the behavior of angle shear connectors embedded in solid concrete slabs experimentally and numerically. Twodifferent cases of angle attachment are considered. First case is angle leg attachedperpendicularly to thesteel beam flange and the other legembedded inconcrete slab. Second case considers angle leg lying on the beam flange and the other leg standing up vertically.
    Inthisstudy,eight push-out test specimens have beenmade and subjected to monotonic loads. Results indicatethatin thefirst caseof angle shear connector,capacityisgreater thanthe second case. A seriesof finite element numerical studies have beenconductedon theangle shear connectorto investigate the effects of different angle parameters on ultimate load capacity.
