“…A further twelve tests were carried out on fin-plate, partial depth endplate and cleated connections. The rotation capacity found from the experiment was similar to the tests carried out by Anderson et al [4] In addition to full scale test, finite element modelling technique is used to study the behaviour of the composite connections. Krishnamurthy et al [6] modelled the connections by adopting the eight-node sub-parametric bricks in order to reproduce the behaviour of bolted end plate connections.…”

“…Seven bare steel beam-to-column equivalent joints were tested, the comparison between the two types of connection showed that the composite connection had significant improvement on the stiffness and strength. Anderson et al [4] carried out research on flush and extended endplate composite connections with metal decking flooring at the University of Warwick. The tests were of a cruciform configuration with the loads being applied at the assumed point of contra-flexure of the beam.…”

ABSTRACT:The use of composite precast hollowcore floor system has been rapidly increased in U.K. and the international construction market due to its various advantages. However, this composite system is mainly used as simply supported beam, without considering the moment behaviour of the connections. Therefore, little research on the composite joint behaviour of this connection has been conducted so far. In this paper, using the general purpose finite element software ABAQUS, a three dimensional model of the composite joint was set up to simulate the semi-rigid composite beam-column connections of the composite beams with precast hollowcore slabs. Using the proposed model, the numerical studies using 3-D Finite element modelling techniques were carried out. Against with the full scale test results of the author, the structural behaviour of this type of connections was studied.Keywords: Connection; semi-rigid;, finite element; connection; modelling INTRODUCTIONIn the building construction, precast hollowcore slab is a newly developed floor system with limited research. Compared with the traditional composite floor system like the solid slabs or metal profiled decking floor system, it saves construction time; reduce the cost of concrete casting, etc. Therefore, it becomes more and more popular in the construction market. In the construction practice, the composite beams with precast slabs are used as simply supported beam; no moment capacity of the connection has been taken into account in the current design. However research by the author found that even with simple steel beam to column connection, if the longitudinal steel bars are placed around the columns edge, the connection can achieve some moment capacity due to the composite action between the precast slabs and the steel beams. The behaviour of this type of connections more or less can be classified as semi-rigid connections which can be used to enhance the whole stability of the frames. Therefore, the research on the behaviour of this type of connections is quite necessary.Johnson et al.[1] firstly conducted five tests on composite connections which covered the whole range of the web slenderness available in universal beams and showed that negative moment with semi-rigid joints had greater resistance to bucking and much greater rotation capacity than rigid joints. MacGinley et al.[2] tested a series of bare steel joints and two composite connections. The two composite connections exhibited considerably more capacity than the bare steel joints. Davison et al. [3] tested eleven composite beam-to-columns connections. This was the first study in the U.K. to use relatively flexible joint details to exploit the composite floor action in composite frames. This also was the first attempt to use profiled metal decking rather than a solid slab. The test results suggested that it was unwise to rely solely on mesh to provide tensile reinforcement and that the anchorage of the reinforcement is particularly important. Seven bare steel beam-to-column equivalent joint...

“…Compared with steel joints and reinforcement concrete (RC) joints, rigid composite joints consisting of steel beams and RC slabs exhibit a higher load-carrying capacity and better deformation ability [4][5][6][7]. Furthermore, the reinforcements in the RC slab are essential components contributing to "catenary action", especially when the steel joints do not satisfy the rotation demand of catenary action [8].…”

This is the unspecified version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Abstract: A partial damage caused by an abnormal load could trigger progressive collapse of high rise buildings which may lead to terrible casualties. However, in the process of column failure, "catenary action" plays an important role in redistributing the internal load and preventing progressive collapses of the structure. Rigid composite joints, thanks to their high strength and good ductility, exert great influence in catenary action. Therefore, an experiment related to a 1/3 scale progressive collapse resistance with the use of rigid composite joints was conducted, and the results of the experiment were analyzed. Based on the experiment results, a FE model was developed and analyzed. This paper describes the experiment, the results analyzed, and the FE model in detail. The experiment showed that the progressive collapse mechanism of composite frame consisted of 6 stages: elastic stage, elastic-plastic stage, arch stage, plastic stage, transient stage and catenary stage. In catenary stage, catenary action evidently enhanced the resistance to the progressive collapse of the frames. The steel-concrete composite frame with rigid connections designed in accordance to current design standards showed a good resistance to progressive collapse. It is also found that horizontal restraining stiffness of the frame exerted great influence on the resistance in catenary stage. Permanent repository link

“…Concerning the deformation of this component, as verified in [6], a small contribution to the joint rotation may be observed. According to [7], the slip at the connection depends on the stud nearest to the face of the wall. As the load increases, this stud provides resistance to slip until it becomes plastic.…”
