Abstract:

The study of composite beams is characterised by the connection between the two components: the concrete slab and the steel girder. In this thesis, two different problems, related to this connection were studied: the problem of partial interaction in composite beams of long spans with low degrees of shear connection, and the problem of transverse flexibility of the stud connection 'joint' between the concrete slab and the steel beam as part of a discrete inverted U-frame. This thesis is therefore divided into two separate parts. The study of beams with partial shear connection and solid slabs

Abstract:

Two aspects of the buckling behaviour of continuous composite beams of steel and concrete are considered. The first part relates to the study of moment redistribution in braced slender beams (Class 3 draft Eurocode 4) due to local buckling in the hogging moment regions. The second part describes the experimental work to investigate the ultimate load behaviour of unbraced compact beams (Classes 1 and 2 draft Eurocode 4) in the hogging moment regions. For a braced continuous slender composite beam, local buckling at an internal support allows a redistribution of bending moment from the hogging r

Abstract:

Solutions of composite beams encounter some specific problems, such as shrinkage and creep of concrete, cracking of concrete and plasticity of steel, partial interaction of elements or history of erection and loading process. These factors and others affect the distribution of internal forces along the beam, the distribution of stresses along the cross-section and also stiffness and deflection of beams. The goal is to describe and compare methods for analysis of composite steel and concrete beams by more simplified approaches allowed by Eurocode with more advanced techniques. The studies will

Abstract:

A series of composite beam models are constructed for efficient high-fidelity beam analysis based on the variational-asymptotic method (VAM). Without invoking any a priori kinematic assumptions, the original three-dimensional, geometrically nonlinear beam problem is rigorously split into a two-dimensional cross-sectional analysis and a one-dimensional global beam analysis, taking advantage of the geometric small parameter that is an inherent property of the structure. The thermal problem of composite beams is studied first. According to the quasisteady theory of thermoelasticity, two beam mode

A study has been made of glass fibre reinforced plastic beams in three-point bending. In recent years, the importance of flexural loading in composites has manifested itself in the form of composite leaf springs, helicopter rotors, and other applications. This study is directed at the initiation, growth, characterization and measurement of damage in unidirectional and cross-ply composite beams. Beams were tested in three-point static and cyclic bending. Following damage initiation, either by a machined notch or by repeated cycling, damage growth has been characterized by two damage parameters

Abstract:

This work is concerned with local buckling and lateral distortional buckling, two aspects of instability that govern the design of composite beams in hogging regions. Local buckling in hogging regions of a continuous composite beam was modelled by moment curvature characteristics of a cantilever, modified by two curvature ratios, K1 and K2. Test based expressions for K1 and K2, in terms of a combined slenderness λc, were developed, and subsequently used in numerical analyses of 50 two-span composite beams to assess moment redistribution allowed for Class 2 beams by draft Eurocode 4.

Abstract:

Recent demand for very heavily serviced widespan office floors has led, as a natural development of the concept of haunched and tapered frames, to the use of composite flooring systems supported by tapered (varying web depth) beams. These systems are very attractive from an economic point of view, combining wide spans, rapid erection and easy access to services between the shallow parts of the beam and the ceiling below. One of the most pressing needs is for a better understanding of the local buckling behaviour of the relatively deep slender web at changes of slope in the lower flange, in par

As fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) structures find application in highway bridge structures, methodologies for describing their long-term performance under service loading will be a necessity for designers. The designer of FRP bridge structures is faced with out-of-plane damage and delamination at ply interfaces. The damage most often occurs between hybrid plys and dominates the life time response of a thick section FRP structure. The focus of this work is on the performance of the 20.3 cm (8 in) pultruded, hybrid double web I-beam structural shape. Experimental four-point bend fatigue resul

Abstract:

The response characteristics of beams and plates made from composite laminates are strongly affected by the shear deformations of their layers. However, incorporation of the shear deformation further complicates the equations of motion and their analysis. As a result the vibration analysis of such structures have been limited to simple free vibration studies such as determination of their frequencies. The forced vibration problems of these structures have been solved by exact methods for only some very simple cases. In this study, a generalized modal approach is presented to solve more general

CIBs in many cross-sections and materials were limit-tested for structural performance, long-term durability, thermal and dynamic behaviours.

Abstract:

In many engineering applications, it is desirable to know the behaviour of structures and systems under loading conditions. One reason is to help optimize the design and prevent damage and failure which might occur during in service and operation. Damage represents a serious problem which can cause catastrophic failure of structures, machines and systems. Therefore for safe operation, efficient and reliable methods for inspection and monitoring of damage are required. Different methods for health monitoring of structures such as non destructive testing (NDT) and strain gauges are widely used.

The demand for an insert on composite sandwich structures to aid in the arrestment of face-core delamination is of great need.

Experimental analysis was employed to test the samples and was verified by a theoretical and finite element approach.

The primary objective of this study has been to examine the behavior of continuous composite beams. The investigation has been based on a nonlinear analysis of 15 composite floor systems. New design criteria have been proposed to calculate the effective width at mid-span and supports, at yield and at ultimate loads. New design equations have been developed to calculate the ultimate strength of a composite section in both positive and negative moment regions. Ductility and deflection characteristics have been studied and equations are proposed to calculate the deflection at service load.
