Abstract: In steel and concrete composite beams, the incomplete interaction between steel profile and concrete slab leads to an appreciable increase of the beam deflections with respect to full interaction behavior. Moreover, the ...

Abstract: Several proposals have been carried out for modeling a fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP)-to-concrete interface whose behavior is not completely described by fracture energy value, which could often be derived in closed form. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical model for analyzing shear-flexible steel-concrete composite beams in partial interaction. Both concrete slab and steel beam are modeled according to Timoshenko’s theory, and a continuous ...
