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 UR - http://203.159.5.9/ait-thesis/detail.php?q=B18633 ER -
