PROBABILISTIC DESIGN OF COMPOSITE GIRDERS CONSIDERING THE DEGRADATION OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION AND THE REDISTRIBUTION OF FORCES
AbstractFatigue design of composite girders and in particular shear connectors according to Eurocode 4 is based on fatigue strength curves. Therefore, the lifetime of a girder can be limited by failure of a critical shear connector. The failure probability of a component is thus determined by the failure probability of one shear stud or composite dowel, although a composite girder is an internally highly statically indeterminate system with the possibility of redistributing forces in the shear connection. This paper outlines the positive effects on the lifetime of a girder by considering crack propagation and residual capacity of shear connectors with cracks as well as redistributing forces towards less stressed and damaged connectors. The failure probability of a girder is determined by a Monte Carlo simulation using a lamella model with incremental calculation of the degradation of the shear connection. The results show the economic potential of a future global safety concept for composite girders especially with composite dowels.
