Summary

Solutions of the static Euler-Bernoulli equations of composite beam-columns with interlayer slip have been compared with an approximate theory. The inter-layer force was taken to be proportional to the inter-layer slip. The general solutions were obtained for four different sets of boundary conditions corresponding to the four Euler cases: clamped-free, pinned-pinned, clamped-pinned and clamped-clamped. A transverse static point load was considered. The beam was axially loaded. The contribution of the axial force to the bending moment, or equivalently the work done by the axial force on the beam due to its deflection, was taken into account in the second order theory and neglected in the first order theory. In the approximate theory the second order effects were described by an approximate magnification factor obtained from critical loads calculated by approximating the buckling length coefficients of the composite beam with interlayer slip by the buckling length coefficients of a solid beam. The contribution of second order effects to deflections and internal actions were calculated in terms of exact magnification factors at different stiffness of the composite action and the results were compared with the approximate theory. Two composite beams were considered. The first was a combination of concrete and timber and the second was a combination of concrete and steel. The positions of the maximum internal shear forces were shown to occur at different positions in the two layers of the beam of concrete and steel when the exact first and second order calculations were compared. The approximate theory was fairly accurate for the deflection but showed higher deviations for other quantities. The approximate theory needs further evaluation. The exact results have been obtained by analytical calculations in combination with numerical evaluation.
