Study on distribution of longitudinal shear forces in composite beams with web openings

摘要

In the composite beam, significant share of longitudinal shear forces occurs at the interface of steel and concrete element. This article presents a parametric study focused on behaviour of shear flow along the composite beam with web openings. The composite member composes of concrete slab, castellated steel beam and bonding between these components. The study demonstrates, influence of the non-uniform arrangement of shear connectors on distribution of shear forces in elastic stage of flexural behaviour.
