Behavior of Cold-Formed Steel-Concrete Composite Beams

by Richard P. Nguyen, California State Univ-Long Beach, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (ACI 530-88/ASCE 5-88) and Specifications for Masonry Structures (ACI 530.1-88/ASCE 6-88) (ACI 530.1-88/ASCE 6-88)

Abstract:

An experimental investigation was conducted at California State University - Long Beach to study the structural behavior of composite beams made of thin-walled cold-formed steel stiffened channel and concrete subjected to shear and bending stresses. It was found that by replacing the conventional steel reinforcing bars with thin-walled cold-formed sections of equal cross sectional areas, the ultimate strength of the composite beams in bending and shear can be achieved.
