Abstract
► Angle connectors showed 7.5-36.4% less strength in monotonic and 23.6-49.2% in cyclic loading than channels. ► Failure of connector fracture was experienced for both channel and angle connectors. ► After the failure, more cracking was observed in slabs with channels than with angles. ► All channel connectors have sufficient ductility but angle connectors showed less. ► Angles showed good behaviour in ultimate shear capacity but not in ductility.
