Connection of Beam Flange to Concrete-Filled Tubular Column
Research has been carried out on a frame composed of a concrete-filled steel tubular column and H-shaped steel beam with the aim of developing a reasonable connection method. The proposed...
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...
Connections of Concrete Filled Steel Beams
The concrete between the steel flanges of composite beams leads to problems in the connection area. To solve these problems four new types of beam-girder and beam-column connections are...
Recent Developments in Composite Bridges
Composite steel and concrete bridges are becoming increasingly popular, in particular for short and medium spans. This renewed interest is due first of all to the great freedom for creativity...
Thin Walled Circular Concrete Filled Steel Tubular Columns
The thin walled steel tube filled with high strength concrete delivers the economies of a concrete column with the speed of construction and the constructability of a steel column resulting...
Hybrid Lifted Structure for the Collserola Tower
The structure of the 300 m. Collserola Tower is a hybrid system formed by three combined structural systems consisting of: - a very slender cylindrical concrete shaft: - a large steel...
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)...
Behavior of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Three-Dimensional Subassemblages
Three-dimensional subassemblages consisting of a concrete-filled steel tubular column and four H-shaped beams were tested under a constant axial load on the column, constant beam loads...
Application and Recent Development of a Numerical Model for Composite Beams with Partial Shear Connection
This paper deals with numeric analysis of composite steel and concrete beams for loads up to the ultimate beam capacity. Two versions of a numerical model are presented addressing such...
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 Walling
This paper describes a study into a system of walling that comprises two skins of profiled steel sheeting infilled with concrete. During construction the steel sheeting acts as permanent...
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...
The Definition of a Short Composite Column
A `short' column in composite construction is defined as one which can be designed for its cross-section strength alone without the need to consider stability effects. An extensive study...
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...
Force Transfer in Composite Columns
The force transfer from steel to concrete without mechanical transfer devices in composite columns at points of load introduction is studied. A mechanism of force transfer and the factors...
New Steel Beam to Composite Column Connection Detail
Composite columns consisting of hollow steel tubes filled with high strength concrete with compressive strength exceeding 10000 psi (69 MPa) are being used in high-rise buildings. Connecting...
Behavior of Unbonded Braces Restrained by Reinforced Concrete and FRP
A new composite steel brace called an unbonded brace (UB) is proposed to enhance the capacity of a steel brace to carry a compressive load of almost up to the yield strength of the steel...
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...
