DESIGN OF DUCTILE STEEL/ CONCRETE COMPOSITE BEAMS

The paper presents a method for designing steel/ concrete composite beams with a ductile response to overload. Equations are given describing the behaviour of a composite beam cross- section in sagging bending as the loading is increased up to failure. The effects of strain- hardening in the steel are quantified. The effects of slab reinforcement, haunches and cover plates on the cross- section behaviour are illustrated. A simple test is developed which distinguishes between ductile and strain- softening beams. The use of the test in design calculations is demonstrated (Author/TRRL)
