This paper compares the design of composite columns in steel and concrete based on EN1994-1-1 and Chinese JGJ138-2016. First, the application ranges of the codes are pointed out. Both codes contain the design of fully encased composite sections and concrete filled rectangular and circular tubes. However, there are different limitations on cross-section sizes, material strength classes, and others. JGJ138 has three separate chapters for the designs related to the three different types of columns. Eurocode 4 gives three different design methods: one general method based on nonlinear calculation, and two simplified methods based on European buckling curves or N-M iteration curves. For the materials, mechanical properties, such as design strength values, are compared based on the same material grade. For axial compression resistance and eccentrically compressive resistance, the two simplified methods from Eurocode 4 are compared with the design method according to JGJ138-2016 through theoretical and parameter studies. The influences of related parameters such as long-term effects, the buckling curves, and N-M iteration curves are also compared. For shear design, JGJ138-2016 considers mainly transverse shear resistances, while Eurocode 4 further considers shear connection and load introduction. The design transverse shear resistance is compared through theory. [less ▲]

Analysis and Comparison of Eurocodes and Chinese codes of Design

Eurocodes (EC) which were published in 2007 are one of the most advanced standards for structure design in the world. Today, Eurocodes are not only used in EU or EFTA countries, but also many other countries use Eurocodes or align their National standards with them, which gives Eurocodes global influence. Chinese codes of practise, on the other hand, benefit from the recent fast developed construction industry and have a vast application base. In the recent years, half of the new building floor area worldwide is built in China. Thus, it is interesting to compare Eurocodes (one of the most used codes worldwide) with the Chinese codes of design (with which most buildings were recently built). [less ▲]

Comparison of design for composite beams in steel and concrete according to Eurocode 4 and Chinese Design Codes

Parallel to the investigation in the second generation of Eurocodes, the Chinese design standards are also updated. At 01/12/2016, a new Chinese Code for the design of composite structures JGJ138-2016 was put in practice to replace the old JGJ138-2001. Benefit from the vast experience of composite structure applications blooming recently in Chinese, the new code covers much wider topics and is more comparable to Eurocodes 4. Generally, both codes cover topics of composite beams and columns, composite slabs and composite connections. However, JGJ138-2016 covers also the design of composite shear walls, while Eurocode 4 considers more about durability and time effects. It is necessary to compare the materials used for both of codes. In this article, it covers comparison of the mechanic properties such as elastic modulus, characteristic strength and design strength. The analysis includes concrete, reinforcement, and structural steel. The main comparison is the design procedure of composite columns. The application range of the codes will be pointed out first. Both codes allow the design of concrete encased sections and concrete filled rectangular and circular tubes. However different limitations on cross-section sizes and materials can be found. Eurocode 4 represents three different design methods: the simplified method for centric loading, based on the buckling curves; the general method based on 2nd order calculation for action effects and N-M interaction for the determination of resistances; as well as the non-linear method based on stress-strain limitation of material and FE-Analysis. Chinese code gives a simplified method of the calculation of column resistance for centric and eccentric loading. Also the impact of second-order effect are to proof if needed. According to the EN1994-1-1 the impact of creep is to consider for the denervation of the bending stiffness and for ideal buckling resistance and non-dimensional slenderness. JGJ138-2016 do not consider impact of creep for the design. Besides, JGJ138-2016 includes also design for seismic situation. The axial cross-section resistance and normal force-moment interaction curves (N-M curves) will be compared through theoretical analysis and parameter studies. JGJ138-2016 considers mainly transversal shear resistances, while Eurocode 4 further considers shear connection, load introduction and longitudinal shear outside the areas of load introduction. The design shear resistance will be compared in general and within parameter study. [less ▲]

Due to the demand for sustainable constructions, composite structures become more important and lead to slim and economic solutions. The determination of moment resistance for composite beams follows the rules for composite structures according to EN 1994-1-1. For the plastic design it is still assumed, that each cross-sectional fibre can plastify without any limitation of strains. For normal composite beams in case of sagging moments and a high-lying plastic neutral axis, the real moment resistance is slightly higher than the plastic resistance. This is based on the large strains at the bottom side of the section, so that the lower steel flange reaches the solidification range. In case of sections with a large compression zone height xpl, a concrete failure in the compression zone can happen before reaching the plastic moment resistance. In these cases a strain limit design, based on the strain-stress relationships of concrete and steel, becomes decisive. EN 1994-1-1 provides only for cross-sections of classes 1 and 2 in steel grades S420 and S460 a limitation of plastic design. It is to point out, that the rotation capacity of a composite section is not only conditioned by the b/t ratio of the steel section, but also the concrete part has a significant impact. This applies not only for high steel grades. Though, in Eurocode 4 there are no further regulations given for sections with lower steel grades. Especially, the more and more upcoming integrated and compact composite sections underline the importance of such requirements. Therefore, the objective of the recent research is concentrated on the development of additional regulations, to consider the influence of concrete compression zone height onto the moment resistance of composite beams.
