Shear Connector Database

What is inside

This repository stores 551 push-out test data for shear connectors installed in steel deck.

We save the data as a json file at here in the data folder.

This repository comes with a data viewer. You can use the viewer at https://github.com/hyeyoungkoh/shearstud.

Or you clone this repository to run locally by running the following command

git clone https://github.com/hyeyoungkoh/shearstud.git
cd shearstud/
gatsby develop
