Abstract:Experimental research has been carried out to study the behavior of composite open web steel joists under monotonic loading. Four composite joists were fabricated with two types of web members and span-to-depth ratios were tested. The concrete slab 400 mm wide, and 90 mm overall depth overlaid on a corrugated steel sheet. The composite system was simply supported over 3000 mm span and subjected to a uniformly distributed loading. Test results are presented in terms of slip between composite slab and the top ch… Show more
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.
