The presented study conducts a comprehensive analysis of the performance of a monolithic slab-column connection utilizing a shear key. Utilizing the finite element method in the ANSYS software suite, a detailed geometric model of the structure is developed, facilitating complex numerical simulations. Special attention is paid to the interaction between concrete and steel within the structure, as well as the transfer of forces through the shear key. The obtained results include a detailed assessment of stress and deformation distribution in various components of the structure, enhancing the overall understanding of its mechanical behavior. The aim of the study is not only to analyze the effectiveness of employing a shear key to ensure the strength and stability of the slab-column connection, but also to generate practical recommendations for optimizing the design to improve the interaction between materials and enhance the reliability of construction projects. The presented research is significant for engineers and designers seeking to improve the processes of design and construction in the modern industry, as well as for developers of regulatory documents in the field of construction and infrastructure. The findings of the study can be applied in the development of new construction technologies.
