Some important benefits of using Shear Connectors in construction include the following:

​

• Cost savings in the reduction of building materials in the design of composite structures.

• Reduces building height and saves on materials as lighter beams result in shallower floor sections.

• Secures concrete to steel structural components.

• Increases shear loading capacity in steel buildings.

• Provides larger rooms with fewer obstructions because longer beams can be used.

• Reliable and safe under static and dynamic stress.

• Mechanical interlock of steel and concrete.

• Anchorage of steel parts in concrete for various load directions, no cracking forces because of mechanical interlock.

• Firm welds are produced by stud welding.

• Electronically controlled and monitored stud welding equipment ensures repeatability and verifiable quality of the weld.

• Easy to install, application can be done by trained operators.
