Loading capacity of composite slim frame beams

Numerical procedure for nonlinear behavior analysis of composite slim floor beams

“…8(a). The 2nd and 3rd beams, also investigated experimentally by Wang [21] are all frame beams with 6.00 m span and loaded at the center of the beam. The effective width of the concrete slab was taken equal to 1/8 of the beam span and the overall depth of the composite is 290 mm.…”

Flexural behavior of shallow cellular composite floor beams with innovative shear connections

“…The composite slim floor systems have been studied in terms of the integrated composite beam [1,2,5,6,7]. Experimental studies on integrated slim beams were conducted by researchers of the Helsinki University of Technology; and also, the influence of parameters such as reinforcement ratios and types of loading on the behavior of composite slim beams was investigated [8].…”

“…A full-scale slim-floor beam test was presented by Mullett [5], and in the study the shear transfer between the steel section and the concrete was provided by the shear bond at the interface between the two components. Wang et al [7] presented an experimental investigation of flexural behavior of slim floor beams using deep decking with fixed end connection to a column frame. Also, four full-scale tests carried out on two span continuous composite floor systems (6 m × 10 m) were experimentally studied by Hegger et al [12].…”

Full-Scale Test of Two-Storey Composite Slim Floor under Pseudo-Dynamic and Pseudo-Static Loadings

“…The behavior of edge beams in composite slim floor was examined in Darmstadt University of Technology (Lange 2006). In Tsinghua University, tests on six specimens of composite slim beams in different types which included both simply supported beams and framed beams were conducted to investigate the loading capacity and stiffness of composite slim beam under vertical load (Chen 2002;Li 2005;Wang et al 2009). In recent years, an increasing application of the composite floor with slim beam in shallow floor systems has shown and many researches are made on fire resistance of the composite slim floor in many countries (Park et al 2011;Makelainen et al 2000;Lu et al 2005a, b;Ehab 2011;Ehab 2012 andDong et al 2009).…”
