Abstract

This study is based on the necessity of sustainable housing in earthquake-prone and wind-prone coastal locations. It focuses on determining the load-slip behavior, failure mode, and ductility of low-strength concrete made with brick aggregate containing channel and angle shear connectors fixed with the wide flanged beam. Under monotonic loading, channel connectors have an average of 15.11% and 54.81% higher shear capacity and slip than angle connectors in brick aggregate concrete slab. Shear loads from experiments are compared with some formulas. It is found that formulas give slightly higher results than experimental results for both channel and angle shear connectors of the brick aggregate concrete.
