Shear studs (Type SD1) are manufactured from low carbon steel with a minimum yield strength of 350 N/mm2 and a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 450 N/mm2 in accordance with BS EN ISO 13918.

Type SD shear connectors as defined in BS EN ISO 13918, are available in 16mm, 19mm, 22mm and 25mm diameter with varying lengths to achieve from 70mm to 170mm length after weld (LAW).

Typical situations where welded shear studs are used include:

1. Thru-deck Stud Welding (on site) for Composite Beams

2. Stud Welding at Works for Composite Beams

3. Plunge Columns

4. Steel Piling

5. Bridge Construction/Refurbishment

6. Refractory Lining and Insulation Connectors

7. Wear Resistant Studs

The most common use of welded shear studs (Type SD1) is in the construction of Composite Beams, refer Section 7.

For the use of welded shear studs in other situations contact the SMD Operations Team.
