Full-scale tests on composite steel–concrete beams with steel trapezoidal decking

Full-scale long-term and ultimate experiments of simply-supported composite beams with steel deck

“…based on the rigid-plastic calculations [57]) had already been observed in previous tests, e.g. [54,60]. Based on these results, it could be concluded that the ultimate response was not affected by time effects for the geometric and material range considered in this study.…”

“…5c). With this load arrangement, no direct pressure was applied over the connector, which has been shown in [60] to be particularly important when testing beams formed with deep trapezoidal sheeting.…”

Full-scale long-term experiments of simply supported composite beams with solid slabs

“…7). With this load arrangement, no direct pressure was applied over the connector, which has been shown in [48] to be important when testing beams formed with deep trapezoidal sheeting.…”

Flexural behaviour of composite beams with high strength steel

“…Intensive investigations [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] of the behaviour of composite beams constructed with conventional mild steel have been conducted both experimentally and theoretically, including the strength and stiffness of composite beams with complete or partial interaction. On the basis of these investigations, adequate and reliable design methods for composite beams with mild steel appear in current design codes [42][43][44][45], in which rigid plastic analysis methods are applied to calculate the bending strength.…”
