Pushout Tests: Computational Simulation Loading process Pretension in the bolt is obtained by assigning thermal coefficient to the shank and • decreasing the temperature. The steel beam is then loaded in the axial direction using displacement control. • Boundary conditions and load application Restrained from overturning Symmetric BC Reaction angle surfaces Loading surfaces Concrete strong floor Interaction Frictional coefficient: 0.3, except for the contact between the plank and the concrete strong • floor, which is frictionless Rebar: embedded in the concrete plank • Introduction DfD Floor System Clamp Connector Behavior Conclusions

Conclusions A new deconstructable composite floor system, consisting of steel framing, precast • concrete planks and clamping connectors, is presented. The clamping connector has a relatively high ultimate strength and behave ductile; • therefore, they can be used as connectors in composite beams. Using shims for thin flange sections reduces the frictional strength slightly. • As a result of damage accumulation in concrete, the strength of the connector reduces • under cyclic loading. Three channel configuration fails by concrete crushing. Introduction DfD Floor System Clamp Connector Behavior Conclusions
