T-type shear connector, floor system and construction method thereof

Abstract

T-type shear connector, having: a first quadrilateral plate; and a second quadrilateral plate fixed perpendicularly and transversely, by way of one of its sides, on the middle part of the first quadrilateral plate. Formed floor system of metallic elements and concrete slab, including at least one T-type shear connector as described above, for connecting the metallic elements to the concrete slab; wherein the T-type shear connector is fixed from a cocked position. Method for constructing the floor system, including: fixing at least one T-type shear connector on the metal elements by way of a strong fastening element; and adding a concrete mixture on the metal elements and the T-type shear connector.

1 . A floor system consisting of metallic elements and concrete slab, wherein it includes:
 at least, a T-type shear connector consisting of a first quadrilateral plate and a second quadrilateral plate fixed perpendicularly and transversely in the middle part of the first plate, to join the metallic elements to the concrete slab; where the T-type shear connector is fixed on the metallic elements by means of the free end of the second quadrilateral plate and any of the ends of the first quadrilateral plate, remaining in a tilted position and embedded in the concrete slab; y   a strong clamping element connects the T-type shear connector to the metallic elements.   
     
     
         2 . The floor system of  claim 1 , wherein the length of the second quadrilateral plate, of the T-type shear connector, is 32.33% less than the length of the first quadrilateral plate. 
     
     
         3 . The floor system according to  claim 1 , wherein the quadrilateral plates have different widths from each other. 
     
     
         4 . The flooring system according to  claim 1 , wherein the quadrilateral plates have different thicknesses from each other. 
     
     
         5 . The flooring system of  claim 1 , wherein the quadrilateral plates are made of a flexural, compressive and shear resistant material. 
     
     
         6 . The flooring system of  claim 1 , wherein the material with high flexural, compressive and shear strength is a metallic material. 
     
     
         7 . The floor system according to  claim 1 , wherein the metallic material is A992 grade  50  steel. 
     
     
         8 . The floor system according to  claim 1 , wherein both quadrilateral plates are: rectangular, quadrangular, trapezoidal, and/or a combination of shapes between said plates. 
     
     
         9 . The floor system according to  claim 1 , wherein the T-type shear connector further comprises, a strong fastening element for tightly joining and fixing the quadrilateral plates to each other. 
     
     
         10 . The flooring system of  claim 1 , wherein the means of strong attachment is selected from the following group: welds, glues or adhesives, assembly mechanisms, tongue and groove systems, and/or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         11 . The floor system of  claim 1 , wherein the metal elements are: metal beams, metal slabs and/or compression mesh. 
     
     
         12 . The flooring system according to  claim 1 , wherein the strong fastening element is selected from the following group: welding, glue or adhesive, an assembly mechanism, a tongue and groove system, and a combination thereof. 
     
     
         13 . A method for constructing the floor system according to  claim 1 , wherein it comprises the following steps:
 to fix at least one T-type shear connector on the metallic elements by means of the free end of the second quadrilateral plate and any of the ends of the first quadrilateral plate, being in a tilted position;   apply a strong fastening element, at the point where the edges of the ends of the quadrilateral plates make contact with the metallic elements; and   add a concrete mix over the metal elements and the T-type shear connector, to form the concrete slab.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the fastening element is welding, glue or adhesive, an assembly mechanism, a tongue and groove system and/or a combination thereof.
