Two Full-Scale Tests of Class 3 Composite Beams
This paper presents two tests of continuous composite beams comprising two 7.5 m spans and two concentrated loads close to the intermediate support. Although the cross-sections on the...
Shear Connection in Composite Beams
This paper considers the influence of the shape of the deck profile on the shear connection of composite beams. It was found that the existing strength reduction factor can be unconservative...
Thermal Shielding in Continuous Span Composite Slabs
The increasing popularity in Europe of composite slabs with cold-formed steel decking has underscored the need to improve calculation rules for the fire resistance. Existing rules have...
A Simple Finnish Method for the Structural Fire Design of Composite Structures
The structural fire design of composite structures in Finland has previously been based on furnace tests, which are expensive and take too much time to arrange. With the increasing prominence...
Summary Report Design Session
The Tuesday presentations were devoted to design. Eight papers were presented in the morning general session and 17 presentations were made in 4 concurrent evening workshops. Diversity...
Design of Composite Slabs for Vertical Shear
Three major modes of failure should be considered in the design of the positive moment regions of composite slabs incorporating profiled steel sheeting, viz.: flexure, longitudinal slip...
Seismic Performance and Composite Action of Older Structures
A study into the seismic performance of older steel structures is described. A review is made of the types of steel building construction completed during the period of interest, and the...
Ductility Effects of End Details in Composite Beams
A limit states criterion is described for quantifying the rotation capacity of members in indeterminate structures as a means of classifying ductility of structures during plastic behaviour...
Development of Composite Slab with Truss-Typed Shear Connectors
This paper describes the results of the test on a steel-concrete composite slab with truss-typed shear connectors. This composite slab was recently developed. A series of tests were conducted...
A New Method from China to Determine Load-Carrying Capacity for CFST Members
The most common research method for CFST (concrete-filled steel tubular) members is to study the behaviors of the steel tube and the core concrete separately, then add them together to...
Full-scale Tests on Composite Connections
Tests have been carried out on eight full-scale composite connections in which the columns were manufactured of concrete-filled steel circular hollow sections (CHS). The connections were...
Strength and Stiffness Behavior of Composite Steel Grid Decks
This paper briefly discusses the historical development of composite steel grid decks. The static and fatigue behavior under bending of filled and unfilled steel grid decks (exodermic)...
Influence on Steel Deck on Composite Beam Strength
Results of a recent study were described in which 7 push-out tests and 4 composite beam tests were conducted. The results were consistent with other recent studies reported in the literature,...
Composite Beams with Headed Studs in Narrow Ribbed Metal Deck
This paper presents the results of sixteen push-out tests conducted to study the behavior of headed stud connectors in composite beams with narrow ribbed metal deck placed parallel to...
Numerical Analysis of Composite Slab Behavior
A new calculation procedure is described which provides an alternative to full-scale testing for composite slabs with ribbed decking used in buildings. This procedure consists of combining...
Strength Deterioration Behavior of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Beam-Columns
Cantilever beam-columns of steel square hollow section with or without filled-concrete were tested under constant axial load and alternately repeated horizontal load to investigate the...
Perfobond Rib Connectors for Composite Beams
In this paper, the influence of concrete strength, transverse reinforcement and concrete dowels on the capacity of perfobond rib shear connectors is examined. Perfobond rib connector is...
Steel Panel Encased R.C. Composite Shear Walls
In order to make clear the fundamental resisting mechanisms of composite shear walls, tests are carried out on the composite unit rigid frames with various infilled shear walls. Composite...
Effects of Connections on Composite Frames
This paper summarizes the preliminary findings from an experimental and theoretical study of the influence of composite connections on frame behaviour. The first part of the work included...
The Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Beams Manufactured with Side Profile Sheets
The paper describes in qualitative terms the fundamental principles that control the behaviour of a completely new form of construction in which reinforced concrete beams are constructed...
