This paper presents the finite-element analysis of the shear-connection shear-out fracture (SOF) performance, covering the prediction of the SOF displacement at fracture and surface and through-thickness fracture failure analyses.

This work proposes using SOF displacement or fracture strain as a displacement or strain-based fracture limit state for shear connections that exhibit the SOF. The displacement or strain at fracture initiation at the middle-thickness of the connected plate represents the accurate SOF displacement or strain at fracture.
