Russian Research

Most of Russian research about composite structure fire resistance are dedicated to the composite slab behavior. The composite beams fire resistance had been never investigated in enough volume: the temperature evaluation within the scope of the actual Russian design codes leads to the significant reduction in the shear connection strength. Meanwhile, there no correlation between the strength decreasing and type of the shear connection. The article provides an overview of the relevant researches and offers some approaches which could take into account bearing capacity reduction of the shear connectors within composite structures design.

In this study, straight composite steel-concrete beams were tested to investigate their mechanical performance under combined negative bending and torsional moments. Two specimens were used in this study, and different ratios between the applied negative bending and torsional moments were induced. Load and deflection relationships, strain development on the steel main girder and shear connectors (stud), and the slip development on the steel-concrete interface were recorded in the test and reported in this paper. The results indicate that increase of torsional moment will result in the significant decrease of the load-carrying capacities (e.g. yield load and ultimate load) of the specimens. It was also found that the normal strains of stud shear connectors in such beams are very large and non-negligible compared to their shear strains. In addition, the maximum interface slip was found occurring at around the 1/4 span, and the support conditions and serious crack of the concrete were considered to be the main causes. The research results obtained in this study can provide references for the design and analysis of steel-concrete composite beams subjected to the combined negative bending and torsional moments.

Push Out

Push-out tests (POTs) have been widely exploited as an alternative to the more expensive full-scale bending tests to characterize the behaviour of shear connections in steel-concrete composite beams. In these tests, two concrete slabs are typically attached to a steel section with the connectors under investigation, which are then subjected to direct shear. The results allow quantifying the relationship between applied load and displacements at the steel-concrete interface. Since this relationship is highly influenced by the boundary conditions of POT samples, different experimental setups have been used, where the slabs are either restricted or free to slide horizontally, as researchers have tried to reduce any discrepancy between POT and full-scale composite beam testing. Based on a critical review of various POT configurations presented in the dedicated literature, this paper presents an efficient one-sided POT (OSPOT) method. While OSPOT and POT specimens are similar, in the proposed OPSPOT setup only one of the two slabs is directly loaded in each test, and the slab is free to move vertically. Thus, two results can be obtained from one specimen, i.e. one from each slab. A series of POTs and OSPOTs have been conducted to investigate the behaviour and the shear resistance of headed stud connectors through the two methods of testing. The results of this study than were compared with those of different POTs setups conducted by other researchers. The new OSPOT results show in general an excellent agreement with the analytical predictions offered by both British and European standards, as well as the estimated shear resistance proposed other researchers in the literature. These findings suggest that the proposed one-sided setup could be used as an efficient and economical option for conducting the POT, as it has the potential not only to double the number of results, but also to simplify the fabrication of the samples, which is important in any large experimental campaign, and to allow testing with limited capacity of the actuator.

This paper describes the reliability analysis of shear connection in composite beams with profiled steel sheeting. The profiled steel sheeting had transverse ribs perpendicular to the steel beam. The level of safety of shear connection, and failure modes were determinate. An extensive parametric study was conducted to study the effects on the safety and behaviour of shear connection by changing the profiled steel sheeting geometries, the diameter and height of headed stud, as well as the strength of concrete. We compared the level safety calculated using the American specification, British standard and European code for headed stud shear connectors in composite slabs with profiled steel sheeting perpendicular to the steel beam. It is found that the design overestimated the level safety of shear connection.

The fatigue behavior of the negative moment region of continuous steel–concrete composite beams under Canadian temperature conditions was studied. Tests were conducted on three 26 ft 0 in. (7.92 m) long beams, continuous over a central support, and on 11 conventional push-out specimens. These were supplemented by a theoretical study of the internal forces in the beams using an iterative method of analysis.The close agreement between measured and theoretical strains and deflections indicated that good interaction was achieved throughout the length of the beams. The beams sustained 500 000 cycles of loading with no serious deterioration of composite action. The pattern of stud failures was consistent from beam to beam and reflected closely the calculated distribution of horizontal shear force at the steel–concrete interface. Stud shear connectors in the negative moment region where the slab had cracked in tension were found to be slightly less effective than studs in the positive bending moment regions.Neither the detailed study of individual connectors in the beams nor the results of the push-out tests show evidence of a reduction in the fatigue life of studs at −20 °F (−29 °C) relative to room temperature. The beams also exhibited no significant difference in their overall performance at these two temperatures.
