Abstract: Local effects on the shear connection of composite girders induced by longitudinal actions such as the anchorages of prestressing cables, concrete shrinkage, or a uniform thermal action on the slab are analyzed. Closed-form ...

Abstract: A design method for the reinforcement-steel area in a concrete section with a generic shape is proposed. The section is subjected to axial load and biaxial bending. The materials are assumed to be nonlienar elastic. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for the viscoelastic analysis of composite steel‐concrete beams with flexible shear connectors. In particular, the proposed method evaluates the effects of the connection device's deformability ...

Abstract: In this first part of the paper, the viscoelastic analysis of composite steel‐concrete continuous beams with flexible shear connectors is performed. The method proposed evaluates the stress redistribution between the ...

Abstract: By using the numerical algorithm proposed in part 1, a parametric analysis was performed in this second part of the paper in order to determine the time‐dependent behavior of continuous composite beams subjected to static ...

Abstract: The analysis and design of composite beams prestressed by external tendons involves difficulties mainly related to the cable slip at the saddle points and to the construction sequences. The paper presents a model for ...
