Longitudinal shear in composite slabs
There are there types of shear connection between a profiled steel sheet and a concrete slab. At first, reliance was […]
This volume provides an introduction to the theory and design of composite structures of steel and concrete. Readers are assumed to be familiar with the elastic and plastic theories for bending and shear of cross-section of beams and columns of a single material, such as structural steel, and to have some knowledge of reinforced concrete. No previous knowledge is assumed of the concept of shear connection within a member composed of concrete and structural steel, nor of the use of profiled steel sheeting in composite slabs. Shear connection is covered in depth in Chapter 2 and Appendix A, and the principal types of composite member in Chapter 3, 4 and 5. All material of a fundamental nature that is applicable to both buildings and bridges is included, plus more detailed information and a worked example related to building. Subjects mainly relevant to bridges are covered in Volume 2. These include composite plate and box girders and design for repeated loading.

The established design methods for reinforced concrete and for structural steel give no help with the basic problem of connecting
The definition of continuous composite beam given in Eurocode 4: Part 1.1[12] is: A beam with three or more supports,

It is now assumed that the two halves of the beam shown in Fig.2.2 are joined together by an infinitcly stiff
Fire design, based on the 1993 draft Eurocode 4: Part 1.2, Structural fire design, is introduced in Section 3.3.7, the whole
All buildings are vulnerable to damage from fire, which is usually the first accidental design situation to be considered in design,
In this example, a typical composite T-beam is designed for the floor structure shown in Fig.3.1, using the materials specified
The strengths of materials and characteristic actions for this structure are given in Section 3.2, and a typical floor is shown
In the fairly dry environment of a building, an unrestrained concrete slab could be expected to shrink by 0.03% of its

The presence of profiled steel sheeting in a slab is normally ignored when the slab is considered as part of
