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...
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...
The Pipe/Soil Stiffness Ratio Variable
This paper reviews the factors which affect the reactions and defines performance limitations of buried flexible plastic pipe as a function of load-induced strains and deflections. The...
Ovality in Pipe Rehabilitation Design
Pipes in need of structural rehabilitation often have longitudinal cracks (at the crown and elsewhere) and exhibit significant ovality (5-10%). When these pipes are lined with current...
Sliplining: Design and Installation Considerations for Polyethylene Pipe
The design methodology and installation procedure for polyethylene slipline renewal are discussed. When designing there are two critical phases which must be considered: (1) short-term...
Microtunneling with PVC Pipe
PVC is a suitable and economical product for sewer system construction. However, in the past, utilization of PVC sewer pipe in microtunneling was impossible due to axial thrust load limitations...
Townsite Lateral-Stage 2 Belle Fourche Unit - Cheyenne Division Concrete: Pipe with Dumped Bedding and Embedment
In 1933, M. G. Spangler presented three bedding configurations and the concept of a bedding factor to relate the supporting strength of buried concrete pipe to the strength obtained in...
Flow Study of In-Service Sanitary Sewers Rehabilitated with Insitupipe
In an effort to define the flow characteristics of sanitary sewer segments rehabilitated with Insituform under normal in-service conditions, Insituform of North America, Inc. (currently...
Concrete Pipe for Sanitary Sewers Corrosion Protection Update
Significant advances have been made in the last decade in the area of sanitary sewer design techniques. Some of the most important advances have been in the prediction and prevention of...
