<br/><br/> The capacity and failure mode of plate shaped shear  connector with various height and thickness, and mounted on  various thickness of bed plate are studied here by u sing the  direct pull- out test (see Fig.5 ) and a formula for the  calculation of this capacity is proposed in the present thesis .  The outcome is compared with the direct push- out test outcome as  found by Slutter & Driscoll [ 3 ) and Kiyomiya & Yokota [4) . How  the various sizes, shapes and arrangement of s h ear connectors may  affect the joint behavior of the composite lapped splice is also  presented here from two composite lapped splice beam tests in  this study (see Fig.7 ) and some test results from Virach [10) .  Some direct pull- out tests with the confinement of stirrups or  deformed bars piercing through the shear connector (see Fig.6)  are also conducted to clarify their improvement in mechanical  behavior of shear connector.
