This paper presents slip behavior of perfobond rib shear connectors on push-out and girder bending tests and their treatment in FEM analysis using plates and combination elements. The number of holes and thickness of ribs are varied in twelve push-out test specimens. The combination elements in FEM between concrete and the perfobond ribs are modeled by spring constants to express the applied load-slip relations.
