In addition to providing a strong and reliable connection between the concrete slab and the steel beams or girders, weld shear connector studs also help to improve the overall stability and performance of a structure. By effectively transferring the loads between the concrete and steel components, these studs help to distribute the forces evenly throughout the structure, reducing the risk of uneven settling or structural failure

As the bolt is tightened, it pulls the wedge-shaped sleeve against the sides of the hole, creating friction and causing the sleeve to expand. This expansion locks the anchor securely in place, providing a strong hold that can withstand significant loads.
