This study concerns the employment of pure torsion analysis to determine ultimate strength of composite beam with shear connectors. The effect of shear connector is used for increasing the strength and stiffness of composite beam. This behavior is influenced by physical response of the beam under pure torsion. Totally 12 beams are tested and comparative analysis has been made within this 12 beams. The curvature, rotation and angle of twist are calculated throughout entire load by torsion test. This investigation proves that the composite beam with 75 mm spaced shear connector provides good ultimate strength.

A shear connector, developed to be applied to a composite beam whose steel profile is a thin-walled box profile, displayed much greater flexibility than the conventional welded shear connector, leading to particular issues in the composite beam behaviour. One of these issues is the role played by friction at the interface between the steel profile and the slab which, under particular circumstances, may be relevant for serviceability limit states and also for ultimate limit states. The Brazilian and American Standards do not yet recognize the friction contribution in the behaviour of composite beams, though they recognize this contribution in composite slabs. This paper presents the experimental tests carried out with and without friction contribution on simple supported composite beams with flexible connectors and the numerical models developed to simulate the behaviour of the tested beams. The experimental tests revealed significant increases in strength and stiffness of the composite beam due to friction contribution and the comparisons between numerical and experimental results displayed good correlations.

Steel-concrete composite construction is used extensively in bridges across North America. The welded shear stud is the standard connector used today, but other connectors, such as the through-bolt connector, may have advantages for precast construction or applications where better fatigue resistance or deconstructability is desired. The standard method of assessing the performance of a shear connector is through the use of push tests. However, the load-slip curves that result from these tests do not accurately predict load-slip behavior at the shear interface of the beams and girders they are meant to simulate. In this paper, a model is presented that predicts composite beam behavior using elastic material properties and nonlinear shear connector load-slip curves. The finite element (FE) model features link connector elements between a steel beam and concrete slab that can be programmed to simulate different connector types. Although the model can be used with push test load-slip curves as inputs, it is shown that a much better prediction can be made using force-deformation data from experimental beam tests or FE analysis. Results are discussed for stud connectors and through-bolt connectors, and it is shown that while through-bolts allow more interfacial slip and overall deflection, material stresses and composite interaction are not affected as much as might be expected. The outcome of this work is a comparison tool which can be used to assess the viability of current and future shear connection alternatives with the goal of achieving an economical and structurally sound shear connector.

Composite plays a vital role in replacing the existing mild steel in reinforcement and exterior truss structure. This study proposed to design shear connector for joining concrete slab and steel section. Shear connectors has analyzed and predict the best connector for a particular composite beam with respect to static load and the amount of steel in the connector as a common aspect. The use of composite structures is increasingly present in civil construction works nowadays. Composite beams, especially, are structures which include substances, a metal phase placed in particular inside the tension region and a concrete phase, positioned in the compression go sectional location, both are related with the aid of steel gadgets called shear connectors. The main features of this connector are to permit the weight for the joint the beam-column, to restriction longitudinal slipping and uplifting on the factors interface the shear forces. Our project paper presents 3D numerical models of steel-concrete composite beams to simulate their structural behaviour, with emphasis on the beam column interface using Simulations software ANSYS 18.1 based on the Finite Element Method. Mostly these type of structures are widely used in the dynamic loading structures like bridges and high rise buildings.
