The tightly spliced truss-reinforced plate-honeycomb flat beam is a novel type of composite beam, with the advantages of high rigidity, high bearing capacity, and ease of construction. In this study, on the basis of the performance in bending tests, the numerical analysis method is used to study the influence of the honeycomb hole–height ratio, and section height on the bearing capacity of the honeycomb composite flat beam. On this basis, the simplified method to calculate the ultimate bending capacity of the new honeycomb composite flat beam was proposed. The research results show the failure modes of the specimens are mainly divided into two states, including the deflection exceeding the limit and the concrete flange plate separating from the steel beam. The tightly spliced truss-reinforced plate-honeycomb flat beams have good ductility, of which the average value reaches 8.2. The simplified method proposed in this article for calculating this type of honeycomb composite beam has an error of less than 10% in terms of bending bearing capacity, which has advantages over the double T-shaped steel method. The calculation method and design suggestions proposed in this study provide a basis for the research and application of this type of composite flat beam.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
