Beam‐Column Moment Connections for Composite Frames: Part 1

Experimental and numerical assessment of mixed RC beam and steel column systems

“…Many previous studies have examined the performance of connections between steel beams and RC or composite columns in which the efficiency of various joint configurations was investigated [12][13][14][15]. Face bearing plates introduced at the column face and aligned along the depth of the steel beam resulted in significant improvement to the joint shear capacity due to enhancements in force transfer through compression struts between the beam flanges.…”

Development of a Shear Strength Equation for Beam–Column Connections in Reinforced Concrete and Steel Composite Systems

“…Design equations to estimate the shear connection strength have been proposed by several previous studies (Dierlein 1988;Sheikh and Deierlein 1989;Kanno 1993). The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Task Committee (1993) suggested a simple modified design equation based on an equation proposed by Deierlein (1988) and Sheikh and Deierlein (1989).…”

Kanno (1993) suggested a shear strength equation for connections based on the ASCE equation that considers the effect of transverse beams and band plates.…”

Ultimate shear behaviour of hybrid reinforced concrete beam-to-steel column assemblages

“…The results showed that, before cracking, the shear 3 stress distribution is nearly parabolic and the force carried by the compression zone increases 4 slowly up to 20-40% of the total shear force until the beam approaches failure. It was reported 5 that the tension zone of the beam can carry up to 75% of the total shear force, with the transfer 6 through aggregate interlock contributing up to 33-50% of the total shear and the dowel action 7 in the range of 15-25%; the latter two mechanisms decrease significantly when stirrups are 8 present. The results presented by Swamy et al [22] are also in agreement with the above, and 9 showed that shear transferred through aggregate interlock decreases with the increase in load.…”

“…The dimensions of 4 the specimens were selected based on practical ranges as well as experimental constraints, with 5 the aim of achieving shear failure involving yielding of stirrups or concrete crushing. The 6 specimens replicate the joint region of a hybrid frame structure that is made of steel columns 7 and reinforced concrete beams.…”
