Shear studs find their application predominantly in composite beams, where they act as connectors between the concrete slab and the steel beam. They are designed to resist shear forces, which are perpendicular to the axis of the member, and can significantly increase the composite action between the two materials. This composite action improves the load-carrying capacity of the structure, making it more efficient and cost-effective.

On the other hand, a bolt is a threaded fastener that is typically used to join two or more objects together. It consists of a cylindrical shaft with threads on its outer surface, which allows it to screw into a correspondingly threaded hole. Bolts are widely used in a variety of engineering applications, including construction, automotive, and aerospace industries. They provide a strong and reliable means of securing components, preventing them from coming loose under harsh conditions.
