This paper presents an experimental investigation on a Steel-Bamboo Composite (SBC) structure composed of H-section steel and flat-pressure laminated bamboo lumber connected through shear connectors (double-end studs or bolts). Static push-out tests are conducted on the new composite connection to investigate its yield modes and failure characteristic. The effects of diameter, spacing and type of shear connectors on the mechanical properties of SBC structures are discussed. According to the experimental result, a “two-hinge” yield is observed...
