Nonlinear finite element analysis of a test on the mechanical mechanism of the half-steel-concrete composite beam in htr-pm

摘要

According to a large-span half-steel-concrete (HSC) composited beam in the composited roof in the HTR-PM, a 1:3 scale specimen is investigated by the static load test. By analyzing the loading, deflection, strain and fracture development of the specimen in the process, studying the mechanical characteristics and failure pattern of such components. The ANSYS finite element software is utilized in this paper to analyze the nonlinearity behavior of the HSC beam specimen, and through comparing the experimental results and the numerical simulation, it can be illustrated that the finite element model can simulate the HSC beam accurately. From the test results, it can be concluded that by means of appropriate shear connection and anchorage length, steel plate and concrete can work together very well and the HSC beam has good load carrying capacity and ductility. These conclusions can serve as a preliminary design reference for the large span half-steel-concrete composite beam in NPP. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
