What is it about?
The model was used to estimate the load–slip curve and to analyze the mechanical behavior of the connectors – such as the stress distribution – which is usually difficult to evaluate through testing.

Why is it important?
The finite-element model was able to predict accurate results for the slip. The reliability of the model was checked against the test results, and it was found that the numerical results for the load–slip curve were in good agreement with the test results.
Perspectives
The geometry and material non-linearities of the studded steel beam shear connector were included in the finite-element model. Contact regions between the concrete and steel elements were simulated using surface-to-surface and embodiment techniques.
