Shear studs, also known as shear connectors, are critical components in composite construction, particularly in steel-concrete structures. They play a vital role in ensuring that the two materials bond effectively, enabling them to work together to resist structural loads. Understanding standard shear stud sizes is essential for engineers and architects to ensure safety, structural integrity, and compliance with building codes.

1. Load Requirements The primary consideration is the maximum load that the composite beam will experience. Heavy loads typically require larger diameter studs or a greater number of studs to ensure adequate shear transfer.
