Shear studs are typically welded to the steel section of a composite beam before concrete is poured. Their primary function is to transmit shear forces between the steel and the concrete, preventing the two components from sliding apart under load. This connection enhances the load-carrying capacity of the beam and allows for a more efficient use of materials, ultimately leading to lighter and more cost-effective structures.
The installation of resin anchors involves several steps to guarantee optimal performance. First, a suitable hole is drilled into the concrete using a hammer drill. The diameter and depth of the hole must correspond to the specifications of the resin anchor. After cleaning the hole of dust and debris, the two-part resin is mixed and injected into the hole. The anchor rod is then inserted before the resin starts curing, ensuring a strong bond as the resin hardens.

3. K-Bracing In this system, a vertical member is connected to the mid-point of a diagonal member, forming a 'K' shape. K-bracing is advantageous in providing additional lateral resistance while maintaining architectural flexibility and aesthetic appeal.
Chemical anchor bolts are versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, including
