Slab Stress

Steel-concrete composite beams are composed of concrete slabs and steel girders by shear connectors. Due to the limited rigidity of shear connector, and the shrink & creep property of concrete, relative slippage exists between the concrete slab and steel girder under bending, and it is difficult to analyze the effect of those factors by the ordinary beam theory, the finite element method(FEM) and so on. A differential equation of equilibrium is constituted corresponding to the compatibility of deformation and the equilibrium of forces of steel-concrete composite beams under particular assumed condition. Finite difference method (FDM) and variation principle are used to solve the differential equation. An example of steel-concrete composite T girder is given to analyze the effect of slippage and concrete shrink & creep on its stress and deflection. The concrete slab stress increases with increased rigidity in the shear connectors. The stress of the steel girder and the deflection of the composite girder decrease with increment in the rigidity of the shear connectors.

Abstract This paper presents an analysis of timber-concrete composite beams. Said composite beams consist of rectangular timber beams and concrete slabs poured into the steel sheeting. The concrete slab is connected with the timber beam using special shear connectors. The authors of this article are trying to patent these connectors.

Lag Effect

Steel-concrete composite beams are composed of concrete slabs and steel girders by shear connectos. Due to the shear lag effect, the longitudinal normal stress of cross section is nonuniform distribution,and it is difficult to analyse the effect of that by ordinary beam theory. A differential equation of equilibrium is constituted corresponding to the compatibility of deformation and the equilibrium of forces about steel-concrete composite beams under particular assumed condition. The method of variable-separating is applied to solve the differential equation with the simply supported boundary condition. An example of steel-concrete composite box girder is given to analyse the effect of shear lag on its stress and approve its applicability.

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.

This paper summarizes the results of tests performed on 48 push-out specimens to investigate the feasibility of using perfobond rib type shear connectors in composite beams with ribbed metal decks placed parallel to the steel beams. The perfobond rib shear connector is a flat steel plate containing a number of holes. The results indicate that perfobond rib connectors can be effectively used in composite beams with ribbed metal decks placed parallel to the steel beams. An appreciable improvement in performance was observed in test specimens when additional reinforcing bars were passed through the perfobond rib holes. Shank shear was the principal mode of failure in specimens with headed studs. In specimens with perfobond rib, failure was triggered by the longitudinal splitting of the concrete slab, followed by the crushing of concrete in front of the perfobond rib. Key words: composite beam, shear connector, perfobond rib, headed stud, push-out test, metal deck.

Ductile Behavior

This study intends to improve the efficiency of the composite beam combining a slab made of steel fiber-reinforced ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) and a steel girder without top flange. To that goal, the experiment is conducted on 24 composite beams fabricated with varying compressive strength of UHPC, steel fiber content, stud spacing, and slab thickness to evaluate the behavior of the studs and the flexural behavior of the composite beam combining the UHPC slab and the inverted-T steel girder. The experimental results show the test members developed sufficient ductile behavior with respect to the slip limit of 6 mm stipulated in Eurocode-4 and regardless of the considered test variables. The experimental ultimate horizontal shear force is seen to be clearly larger than the static strengths of the stud predicted by Eurocode-4 and AASHTO-LRFD. Improved design formulae for the composite beam shall be derived to reflect the UHPC slab thickness.

A composite section is made up of a steel girder and concrete slab connected by shear connectors. The shear lag phenomenon usually takes place in such a section and results in underestimation of stresses and strains at the web-to-flange intersections of the girder. With the introduction of the concept of effective slab width, the actual width can be replaced by an appropriate reduced slab width. The classical effective slab width definition does not take into account the strain variation through the slab thickness. More sophisticated definitions are introduced and used with finite element analyses. The method of finite element modeling is discussed, and the model is successfully verified with experimental results. Parametric study is conducted to investigate the effective slab width for both positive and negative moment sections. The effective slab width is computed and compared with the current AASHTO load and resistance factor design (LRFD) specifications. The results demonstrate that full width can be used as the effective slab width in the design and analysis in most cases for the design and analysis of both positive and negative moment sections. The current AASHTO LRFD specifications are found to be conservative for configurations with widely spaced girders, especially in negative moment sections.

In a steel-concrete composite beam (hereafter referred to as a composite beam), partial interaction between the concrete slab and the steel beam results in an appreciable increase in the beam deflections relative to full interaction behavior. Moreover, the distribution type of the shear connectors has a great impact on the degree of the composite action between the two components of the beam. To reveal the effect of shear connector layout in the performance of composite beams, on the basis of a developed one-dimensional composite beam element validated by the closed-form precision solutions and experimental results, this paper optimizes the layout of shear connectors in composite beams with partial interaction by adopting a stepwise uniform distribution of shear connectors to approximate the triangular distribution of the shear connector density without increasing the total number of shear connectors. Based on a comparison of all the different types of stepped rectangles distribution, this paper finally suggests the 3-stepped rectangles distribution of shear connectors as a reasonable and applicable optimal method.

 The effective flange width is a concept proposed by various codes to simplify the computation of stress distribution across the width of composite beams. Questions have been raised as to the validity of the effective slab width provisions, since they have a direct effect on the computed ultimate moment as well as serviceability limit states such as deflection, fatigue, and overloading. The objective of this paper is to present results from an experimental and analytical investigation to determine the effective slab width in steel composite beams. The Finite Element Method (FEM) was employed for the analysis of composite steel-concrete beams having variable concrete flange widths. Results were compared to those from tests performed on eight beams loaded to failure. Beam test specimens had variable flange width and various degrees of composite action (shear connectors). The comparison presented in terms of the applied load versus deflection, and strain in the concrete slab show that the AISC-LRFD code is conservative and underestimates the width active. Based on a detailed parametric study an equation for the calculation of the effective flange width is recommended.

In order to achieve a kind of shear connector suitable for rapid-assembling steel-concrete composite beams, a new type of hybrid shear connectors is proposed, in which the concrete slab with prefabricated circular holes and the steel beam with welded studs are installed and positioned, and then epoxy mortar is filled in the prefabricated hole to fix the studs. To study the mechanical behavior of these hybrid connectors, test on 18 push-out specimens with different prefabricated circular holes are carried out. ABAQUS finite element software is adopted to verify the relationship between the numerical simulation and experiment, influences of the epoxy mortar strength and prefabricated circular holes diameter are studied. The results show that filling epoxy mortar in the prefabricated hole is beneficial to improve the stiffness and bearing capacity of the specimen; the change of epoxy mortar strength has a certain impact on the bearing capacity and stiffness of the hybrid connector; In the case of the same strength of the filling material, the size of the prefabricated circular holes diameter directly affects the stiffness and bearing capacity of the shear stud. The shear capacity equations proposed by considering the epoxy mortar strength and prefabricated holes diameter, and it has a wide applicability.
