Shear Studs in PEB and Structural Fabrication: Why They Matter
In the construction of Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs), bridges, steel structures, and industrial flooring, certain fasteners play a critical role in ensuring the overall structural integrity of the assembly. One such essential fastening component is the shear stud.
At Horizon Inc, we supply high-quality, certified shear studs specifically designed for structural fabrication and PEB applications. In this post, we’ll explain what shear studs are, where they’re used, and why they’re indispensable in modern steel construction.
📌 What Are Shear Studs?
Shear studs are heavy-duty, headed steel fasteners welded directly onto steel beams, girders, or plates. They act as anchors for concrete slabs or composite floor decks, ensuring a strong, integrated bond between steel and concrete.
Key Purpose:
To transfer horizontal shear forces from a concrete slab to the supporting steel structure — preventing slippage, increasing load capacity, and enhancing structural stability.
📌 Where Are Shear Studs Used?
✔ PEB mezzanine floors and roof structures
✔ Steel-concrete composite floor slabs
✔ Bridge decks and overpasses
✔ Industrial platforms and walkways
✔ Marine and offshore structures
✔ Renewable energy equipment foundations
✔ High-rise building steel structures
📌 Why Shear Studs Matter in Structural Applications
✔ Improved Load Transfer:
Shear studs prevent separation between steel beams and concrete slabs by securely transferring loads.
✔ Increased Structural Strength:
By creating a composite action between steel and concrete, shear studs increase the structure’s load-bearing capacity and stiffness.
✔ Enhanced Safety and Stability:
Reduces the risk of slippage or movement under load or seismic activity.
✔ Faster and Cost-Effective Installation:
Welded directly onto beams using stud welding machines — no bolts or drilling required.
✔ Compliance with ISO and Structural Codes:
Certified shear studs meet strength, weldability, and dimensional accuracy standards critical for infrastructure projects.
