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...
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...
Longspan Bridges with Double Composite Action
Continuous steel composite bridges with double composite action have, besides the concrete roadway slab, a concrete bottom chord at the haunches over the main piers. This concrete bottom...
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...
Fatigue of a Steel Plate and Concrete Composite Bridge Deck by Moving Loads
This paper is devoted to reveal fatigue characteristics of a steel plate and concrete composite bridge deck, which is often called the Robinson slabs, subjected to vehicle loads. 16 model...
Recent Developments in Composite Bridge Building in Germany
In the 1980s a movement started to build composite bridges with reinforced concrete slabs and to renounce to prestress them in one or both directions. This type of bridge is advantageous...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
