Behavior and Strength of Stub-Girder Floor Systems
The paper presents a detailed evaluation of the behavior and strength characteristics of the stub-girder floor system. This is a composite girder and beam structure that integrates the...
Proposed Design Criteria for Composite Steel Deck Slabs
Composite steel deck slabs have continued to gain popularity; today they are one of the predominant means of floor slab construction in most typical buildings. The term 'composite...
Strength of Composite Beams under Seismic Loading
Effective width of a concrete slab of a composite beam is specified in various specifications, but their theoretical backgrounds are obscure. Originally, they must have been specified...
Load-Carrying Capacity and Remaining Life of First-Built Composite Girder Bridge in Japan
Kanzaki Bridge, Osaka, Japan, was the first steel-concrete composite bridge built in 1953 to carry the Osaka Prefectural Road over Kanzaki River. The bridge was removed in 1978 after 25...
Composite Bridge Design in Germany
A span length between 40 m and 12 m has been regarded as optimal up to the mid-60's for a composite design to compete with prestressed concrete or steel alternatives. With...
Composite Steel Deck Bridge: An Experimental Study
Composite steel decks with steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) were developed, aiming to improve the durability of the deck pavement and to increase the rigidity of the deck plate in...
Dynamic-Fatigue Response of Continuous Composite Bridges
The dynamic response of continuous composite bridges and the influence of fatigue loading at resonance frequency on the structural response are investigated. It is shown that cracking...
Application of Preflexed Composite Beams to Continuous Bridges
A preflexed beam is a type of concrete encased steel beam of which prestressing has been introduced in the lower flange concrete. Recently, the preflexed composite beams were applied to...
The Eurocodes and Shrinkage in Composite Beams
The two parts of this paper relate to different aspects of design procedures for composite structures of steel and concrete. First, recent developments in the coordination of the eight...
Experimental Investigation of Composite Rigid Frames
According to the series of tests conducted by the authors on composite rigid frame models, the compressive principal stress in the steel web plate at the corner panel was considerably...
A History of Adhesive Bonded Composite Members
The history and development of adhesive bonding in composite members is traced. Two forms of composite members are explained. Research from different parts of the world is compared. Applications...
Mixed Systems: Past Practices, Recent Experience, and Future Direction
A comparison is made between composite column capacities derived from the authors procedure utilizing the ACI (America Concrete Institute) code requirements, and previously published semi-empirical...
Recent Research on Composite Structures for Building and Bridge Applications
Continuing research has been carried out at Lehigh University on composite structural members, joints, and overall systems. This paper summarizes the results of research on four selected...
SRC Elevated Station Structures for New Bullet Trains
SRC Steelframe reinforced concrete structures were utilized on several station buildings for the Japanese National Railways bullet trains. This paper presents an outline of the dimensions...
Strength of Biaxially Loaded SRC Columns
The paper presents the results of an experimental study on the elasto-plastic behavior of 'Steel reinforced concrete (SRC)' columns subjected to biaxially eccentric...
Beam-to-Column Connection of a Composite Structure
Composite structures can exhibit excellent performance against seismic force, and fire safety as well. However, the traditional steel reinforced concrete (SRC) system or concrete encased...
Bond Stress of Embedded Steel Shapes in Concrete
This paper describes an investigation into the bond stress developed between steel shapes and reinforced concrete when the concrete is lightly stressed. A brief discussion of previous...
Recent Developments for Composite Buildings in Japan
Research work and construction practice of composite steel and reinforced concrete structural systems in Japan are reviewed, based on the data gathered by the working group of the Architectural...
Composite Columns?Design and Examples for Construction
The new German standard DIN 18806, part 1 gives the rules for the design of composite columns. The general method, taking into account all the inhomogeneties of the two materials steel...
Design of Framed Steel Structures with Infill Reinforced Concrete Walls
It is a well-known fact that an infill shear wall in a frame acts as a compressive diagonal strut, giving strength and inflexibility to the frame. Recently the Architectural Institute...
