The use of composite structures is continuously gaining space in construction. The timesaving s and waste reduction material are the primary motivators of this new trend. However, the ideal composite structure is based on the optimum performance of its composing elements namely, steel under tension and concrete under compression. In addition, shear connectors are used to ensure the desired composite action. These connectors ensure a mechanical force transfer between steel and concrete since the chemical and adhesion contributions are usually neglected. This is guaranteed in Eurocode 4 push-out tests recommendations, used for determining the shear connectors resistance, by the requirement of a cyclic phase to eliminate the chemical and adhesion contributions. The current investigation is centred on the development of a modified T-Perfobond based on a series of push-out tests. This novel shear connector is based on altering the angle between the connectors flange to the base profiles flanges, which in this study considered angles of 30°, 45° and 60°. Tests were also made with traditional Perfobond and T- Perfobond connectors to be used as reference. All shear connectors were made from the same profile W200x26.6. The selection of the adopted steel profile was based on earlier investigations that recommended that these shear connectors should have a flange thickness to enable the formation of plastic mechanisms before the concrete failure requiring that the shear connector flanges not to be welded to the base profiles flanges.In addition to the ultimate load capacity, the tests also evaluated their associated slip capacity since this characteristic plays a key part in classifying the connector´s ductility according to Eurocode 4. In this design code to be classified as ductile, the shear connectors must present relative slip greater than 6 mm at a load level corresponding to 90% of their ultimate load during the unloading phase. The shear connector with a 60º angle presented the most promising behaviour and led to new tests of this geometry be performed considering the presence of holes and holes with passing steel reinforcing bars. These characteristics represented a gain of ductility for the 60° angle modified T-Perfobond connectors that were classified as ductile according to Eurocode 4.
