This reserch focused on the composite beams assembled with timber beams and concrete slab at the interface. In vertically loaded condition, the previous theoretical model considering the load-deformation characteristics of the stud joints were applied. Assuming the slip disribution at the interlayer, useful approximation was proposed. In addition, previous model was modi ed to take into considerarion the shear deformation of wood. Series of experiments and FEM analyses showed good agreement with the presented calculations and veridity of the proposed method was com rmed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
