Number of Shear Connectors Formula Elements

Variables
Number of Shear Connectors
Number of Shear Connectors can be described as the number of connectors required for building construction.
Symbol: N
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
No. of Shear Connectors Required
No. of Shear Connectors Required between Mmax and 0 Moment is the number of connectors required to resist the horizontal shear between the specified span.

Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Moment at Concentrated Load
Moment at Concentrated Load is the moment that occurred below the point load.
Symbol: M
Measurement: TorqueUnit: kN*m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Beta
Beta is a structural constant whose value depends on the effective section modulus for partial composite action.

How to Evaluate Number of Shear Connectors?

Number of Shear Connectors evaluator uses Number of Shear Connectors = No. of Shear Connectors Required*((((Moment at Concentrated Load*Beta)/Maximum Moment in Span)-1))/(Beta-1) to evaluate the Number of Shear Connectors, The Number of Shear Connectors formula is defined as the shear connectors that will be required in case of heavy concentrated loads, where the uniform spacing of shear connectors may not be sufficient between a concentrated load and the nearest point of zero moment. Number of Shear Connectors is denoted by N symbol.
