Sediment Deposition from Debris Flow on a Gentle and Wide Slope
Motion of sediment grains in the deposition process from debris flow on a gentle and wide slope was examined. A model of the deposition was presented on the basis of an analysis of grain...
Time-Dependent Landslide Probability Mapping
Case studies where time of failure is known for rainfall-triggered debris flows can be used to estimate the parameters of a hazard model in which the probability of failure is a function...
New Canadian Provisions Related to the Design of Composite Beams
In this paper, the new provisions in CAN/CSA-S16.1-M89 for the design of composite beams, together with reasons for changes, are discussed. Some of the new provisions reflect results of...
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...
Modern Design Concept for Composite Slabs with Ductile Behaviour
Numerous tests with different types of composite slabs have been carried out in the laboratory for constructional engineering of the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany in order to determine...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
