Summary
Recent solutions for composite construction are based on the connection of more than two elements. An example is sandwich beams composed of reinforced concrete between steel plates. Numerical solutions for these systems, however, are still scarce. This paper describes a finite element formulation for the numerical analysis of three-layered steel-concrete composite beams with partial interaction, subject to Euler-Bernoulli classical beam theory assumptions, and based on the analytical solution of the differential equations. A particularization of a recently published multilayered formulation, for the case of three layers with two flexible connection interfaces is developed. The robustness and correctness of the formulation is assessed with respect to classical finite element solutions for the linear case.
