Summary
The higher-order shear deformation beam theory of Reddy-Bickford predicts accurately the shear deflection without the need of a shear correction factor. However, for more complicated cross-sections, e.g. including holes, it is shown that this theory is not adequate. To be able to predict accurately the shear deflections of deep composite box-type cross-sectional beams, a simple engineering approach is used to derive a closed-form expression for the shear correction factor for those types of beams. The high accuracy and reliability of the developed procedure is demonstrated by comparing those results with accurate three-dimensional finite element results and with Timoshenko and Reddy-Bickford theories. A comprehensive parametric study is presented to investigate the effects of various mechanical properties and geometric dimensions of the box-type of beams for the various models. There is very good agreement between the proposed engineering method and the three-dimensional finite element model.
