Connection of Grouted Tubular Insert Piles to Soil
Force transfer between offshore production jackets and tubular piles is effected by weld bead shear connectors, acting within the grout filled annulus between the piles and pile sleeves...
The Connecting Method of Steel and Concrete Using Long Deformed Bar Studs
A new welding technique for long horizontal studs of 19 mm and 22 mm diameters was established. The transmission of shearing and bending forces was evaluated using large model tests. Actual...
Design of Shear Connectors in Composite Bridge Beams
A new approach is described for the design of stud shear connectors, in composite steel and concrete beams that are subjected to vehicular loads, which allows for the interaction between...
The Steel Deck Institute Method for Composite Slab Design
The Steel Deck Institute (SDI) of the USA has synthesized the composite slab research and testing that has been conducted in the U.S. during the past 25 years and has presented a design...
Effects of Creep in Cable-Stayed Composite Bridges
The paper summarizes the various ways in which creep in the concrete slab may affect the stresses in a cable-stayed composite bridge. It explains one effect in particular which is not...
Interaction of Steel Structure and Composite Supercolumns in Spine Structures
Modern architecture has departed from uniform rectangular cigarette boxes for high-rise buildings. A structural system which goes uninterrupted through the common denominator of the varying...
Double Skin Composite Construction for Submerged Tube Tunnels
A new form of sandwich construction consisting of two relatively thin steel plates, with a concrete infill has been developed for use in the construction of submerged tube tunnels. The...
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...
Seismic Response of Composite Coupled Walls
In many structures, height restrictions may require coupling of reinforced concrete walls by structural steel beams rather than conventional reinforced concrete beams. Through an experimental...
Investigation of Corners and Joints Applied to a Steel-Concrete Composite Caisson
We have developed a caisson composed of steel-concrete composite slabs and steel structures, which we call a `Hybrid Caisson.' We studied the structural principles and usability of the...
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...
Composite Columns Subjected to Bending and Shear
This paper describes experimental as well as analytical studies of the post elastic deformation and fracture behaviors of wide flange steel encased reinforced concrete (SRC) composite...
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...
Columns of Concrete-Filled Rectangular Hollow Sections
Concrete-filled hollow sections are normally used as columns in multi-storey buildings and also in similar structures. Such columns may be filled with plain concrete with no need for any...
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...
Steel Beams with Reinforced Concrete Stiffened Ends
For the construction of office building with long span beams, steel beams with reinforced concrete stiffened ends are being used in order to increase the stiffness. This paper describes...
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...
Concrete Arch Bridges Using Composite Techniques
Use of composite structure is an advantageous method to construct concrete arch bridges. This paper reports two successful examples of concrete arch bridges of composite construction using...
