Abstract
Steel-concrete composite members are an interesting option
for structural designers, but the reliability of design
procedures both in the case of gravity and seismic loads is in
continuous development. The issue is very complex, since
behaviour of continuous composite beams results from local
phenomena of interaction such as partial shear connection
and bond.
Furthermore, composite beams in buildings generally are not characterised by a full continuity due to the beam to column connections; thus the analysis and the detailing of such parts has a key role in the development of suitable design procedures. In the present paper, some computational aspects related to the modelling of composite flexural members are discussed. More in detail, a model to describe the behaviour of composite cross sections is discussed and the iterative procedures to solve simple structural schemes are examined. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
