In the latest years, several studies about shear connectors in perforated flat steel plates have been conducted in order to assess its application in composite structures of steel and concrete, including experimental and numerical approaches. Nevertheless, the behavior of these connectors remains a subject of investigation. This work presents the development of a numerical model capable of simulating the behavior of steel-concrete connection with Crestbond shear connectors using the Finite Element Method. The numerical analysis was performed using the ABAQUS software, considering the elastoplastic behavior for steel and the Concrete Damage Plasticity model for concrete. In order to validate the numerical model, experimental results obtained by Veríssimo (2007) and Oliveira (2007) were used for comparisons. In numerical simulations were evaluated the influence of concrete constitutive model, and the influence of the steelconcrete connection representation using two strategies: Tie restrictions and contact interactions between surfaces. These strategies proved to be able to adequately represent the phenomena observed in laboratory tests, especially those that used contact interactions between surfaces. The numerical model is suitable for simulating the structural behavior of Crestbond connectors, being able to represent the interaction between steel and concrete, to characterize the maximum load resisted by the connection and to characterize the deformation of the connector, providing a useful tool for several other studies.
