Abstract The aim of this study is to find out how the change of individual parameters will affect the flexural strength of steel-concrete composite beams. The project was focused on the choice of strength of materials and the choice of dimension, specifically the height of the concrete slab and the size of the steel profile. The research aim is to reveal which parameters have dominant influence on the flexural strength and thus facilitate the optimization of the design in practice.

The bending test is one of the most important tests that demonstrates the advantages of functional gradient (FGM) materials, thanks to the stress gradient across the specimen depth. In this research, the flexural response of functionally graded polymeric composite material (FGM) is investigated both experimentally and numerically. Fabricated by a hand lay-up manufacturing technique, the unidirectional glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite composed of ten layers is used in the present investigation. A 3-D finite element simulation is used to predict the flexural strength based on Hashin’s failure criterion. To produce ten layers of FGM beams with different patterns, the fiber volume fraction ( Vf%) ranges from 10% to 50%. A comparison between FGM beams and conventional composite beams having the same average Vf% is made. The experimental results show that the failure of the FGM beams under three points bending loading (3PB) test is initiated from the tensioned layers, and spread to the upper layer. The spreading is followed by delamination accompanied by shear failures. Finally, the FGM beams fail due to crushing in the compression zone. Furthermore, the delamination failure between the layers has a major effect on the rapidity of the final failure of the FGM beams. The present numerical results show that the gradient pattern of FGM beams is a critical parameter for improving their flexural behavior. Otherwise, Vf% of the outer layers of the FGM beams, i.e. Vf% = 30, 40, or 50%, is responsible for improving their flexural strength.

The longitudinal shear failure of the slab of composite beams is constrained to occur at a predetermined shear surface. A method for calculating the longitudinal shear capacity of the slab of simply-supported steel–concrete composite beams is presented. The method is based on analyzing the stresses at failure of the concrete elements located at the slab shear surface.A design chart based on estimating the transverse normal stress required within the concrete slab to achieve the full ultimate flexural capacity of the composite beam is proposed. Alternatively, using elastic–plastic stress distribution across the concrete slab, the longitudinal compressive force due to bending and hence the applied moment can be predicted for any longitudinal shear capacity of the slab. The proposed design and analysis when compared to previous tests and analysis showed good agreement.The slab width and the shear span of the composite beam are found to be two important parameters which cannot be neglected when estimating the longitudinal shear capacity of the slab. These two parameters have been neglected in the empirical solutions previously adopted.

This study investigates the flexural strength of simply supported steel-concrete composite beams under hogging moment. A total of 24 composite beams are included in the experiments, and ABAQUS software is used to establish finite element (FE) models that can simulate the mechanical properties of composite beams. In a parametric study, the influences of several major parameters, such as shear connection degree, stud arrangement and diameter, longitudinal and transverse reinforcement ratios, loading manner, and beam length, on flexural strength were investigated. Thereafter, three standards, namely, GB 50017, Eurocode 4, and BS 5950, were used to estimate the flexural strength of the composite beams. These codes were also compared with experimental and numerical results. Results indicate that GB 50017 may provide better estimations than the other two codes.

This paper concerns the analysis and testing of 10 cantilever composite beams incorporating ribbed metal deck, representing the positive moment beam–column connections in an unbraced steel frame with composite floor beams. The positive moment beam–column connections arise from lateral forces on the unbraced frame. The effective widths of the slabs for strength and stiffness calculations have been determined from analysis. Agreement between the calculated strain distributions across the concrete slab width and the corresponding measured strain distributions was attained. Use of the calculated effective widths of the slab for strength together with a concrete strength of [Formula: see text] gave good agreement with the measured positive ultimate moment capacities of the cantilever composite beams subjected to upward end test loads.

Plastic Strain Energy

The flexural strength of steel fiber reinforced prestressed concrete slab (SFRPCS) with different steel fiber volume ratio (0%, 1%, 2%) is obtained according to four-point bend test, which reveals that the addition of steel fiber can retard the crack growth and enhance the flexural strength of SFRPCS. With the results of fatigue experiment, the damage forms of SFRPCS is analyzed, strain amplitude-cycle ratio curves are obtained and the plastic strain energy of SFRPCS with different steel fiber volume ratio during fatigue process is calculated. It is shown that after 80% fatigue life, the more of the steel fiber volume ratio, the less of the strain amplitude increment, which proves the addition of steel fiber can prevent the concrete matrix from cracking and improve the fatigue performance of SFRPCS, and the plastic strain energy curve of SFRPCS shows obviously three- stage development.
