The Cost

This study presents exact solution analysis for the cost optimization of Composite Beams (CB) based on the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) specifications. Matlab code formulation is applied to analysis of sensitivity for various parameters such as cost of concrete, steel beam, span length, concrete slab thickness, compressive strength of concrete, steel beams space and shear connectors on CB. Almost 20 thousands design were analysed to obtain various contour which be found that it is feasible, efficient and effective and capable in optimization of composite beam designs.The obtained results represent that many of the contour are capable by achieving substantial cost savings for composite materials. Therefore, the analysis can be developed for practical designs to structural designers. A parametric study was also conducted to investigate the effects of IPE, IPB, INP profiles, UNP size and thickness of slabs and beam length on the cost optimization of CB.

Load And Resistance Factor

Planning a steel-concrete composite structure using the LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) method is a method that clearly takes into account the boundary conditions, various load factors, and resistance factors, where in this case the resistance factor is needed to maintain the possible lack of structural strength, while the factor load is used to anticipate the possibility of an overload that is formulated. This planning uses a composite structure that is focused on profile steel beams, steel deck plates, and composite columns. Dead and live loads are calculated based on the Indonesian loading regulations for 1983 buildings, while earthquake loads are calculated based on the earthquake resistance planning procedure for building and non-building structures as stipulated in SNI 1762-2012. The steel-concrete composite structure itself is calculated based on the specifications for the design of steel structure buildings using the LRFD method as stated in SNI 03-1729-2002. The structural analysis in the form of the magnitude of the force acting on the building was carried out using the SAP2000 application while the analysis of the feasibility of using the dimensions of the composite structure based on the SNI used was done manually. From the planning results, the dimensions of beam and column cross-sections for each floor plate 1, 2 and 3 are B1 250/250, B2 250/175, B3 300/150, and K1 350/350. The use of steel decks on floor plates 1, 2, and 3 uses shear connectors (studs) with a diameter of 19 mm with 40, 20, and 25 shear connectors, respectively. The joints used in the main and child beams on floors 1, 2, and 3 respectively use 19 mm diameter bolts with 4 bolts, 2 bolts, and 4 bolts respectively, while the connections to columns and beams use diameter bolts 20 mm with the number of bolts 8 pieces.

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.

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.

 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.

Nowadays, with the development of cutting and welding technologies, steel beams with regular circular openings, called cellular beams, have been widely used for construction. The cellular beams could be designed either as steel beam or composite beam when headed shear connectors connect concrete slab to top flange of steel beam. This paper presents a procedure to design cellular composite beams according to EN 1994-1-1. In addition, a parametric study is carried out to evaluate the influence of circular opening geometry to ultimate load and failure mode of a series of cellular composite beams. As a result, an optimal dimension of cellular beam is proposed. Article history: Received 28 February 2018, Revised 22 March 2018, Accepted 27 April 2018

Push Out

This paper briefly summarizes the results of tests conducted on 18 full-size push-out specimens and 4 pull-out specimens. The objective of the project was to study the behaviour of headed studs in composite beams with ribbed metal decks perpendicular and parallel to the steel beam. The longitudinal spacing of the headed studs and the rib geometry of the metal decks were the principal experimental parameters.Five of the push-out specimens had solid concrete slabs, in five specimens the ribbed metal deck was placed parallel to the steel beam, and in the remaining eight specimens the metal deck was perpendicular to the steel beam. In most cases 38 mm deck and 16 × 76 studs were used.Test results obtained by the authors appear to indicate that with some exceptions the current Canadian Standards Association and Load and Resistance Factor Design codes are able to predict stud strength correctly for specimens with solid slabs and with parallel ribbed slabs only when failure occurs owing to stud shearing, i.e., when the studs are spaced sufficiently apart. It is recommended that these codes include a provision to check the possibility of concrete-related failures when the longitudinal stud spacing approaches or falls below six times the stud diameter for solid and parallel ribbed slabs.Stud pull-out was the principal mode of failure in the specimens with perpendicular ribbed metal decks. An equation recently proposed by Hawkins and Mitchell appears to underestimate the capacity for specimens with 38 mm deck. For specimens with 76 mm deck, their equation overestimates the stud capacity. The authors have proposed two separate but similar empirical equations for specimens with 38 and 76 mm deck. Key words: composite beam, headed stud, stud shear capacity, stud pull-out failure, minimum stud spacing, perpendicular deck, parallel deck.

ABSTRACT: The present work aims to compare the structural behavior of steel-concrete composite-section beams for three types of shear connectors made of U hot rolled section and cold-formed sections of U and L. Experimental tests were performed with the three types of connectors associated with I section laminated steel beams and reinforced concrete slabs. For each type of connector, three push-out tests were performed, as well as six simple supported beam tests to evaluate the positive bending moment region. The results indicated that the direct shear behavior among the different types of connectors presents significant differences, however they do not significantly influence the average flexural strength of the composite beams. These, however, present considerable differences in deflections and deformations due to the stiffness differences of the connectors.

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.

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.
