Abstract :
[en] The use of steel–concrete composite beams in which wide-flanged steel beams act compositely with a concrete or steel–concrete composite slab above is well established in building construction. However, for composite beams with low degrees of shear connection between the beam and slab, significant additional deflections can occur due to slip in the shear connectors. A design formula is presented for the effective stiffness of composite beams taking account of the stiffness of the shear connectors, which is compared to measured deflections of six symmetric composite beams and an 11 m span composite beam of asymmetric profile. It is shown that...
