Abstract
Concerned with the analysis of continuous composite beams with
Concrete slab Cast on Corrugated Steel Plates (formed deck). For this
type of beams the’ effect of non-linearity of cross section materials,
ductility of shear connectors, mechanical properties and type of loading
are considered in this analysis.
The present thesis introduces a non-linear mathematical model of
analysis and computer program based on transfer matrix method to solve
the simple and continuous composite beams taking into consideration the
relative potential slip-uplift between the concrete slab and the steel beam.
Suggesting a linear elastic finite element model to solve the composite
beams. Different configuration of simple and continuous composite
beams and different loading patterns are analyzed using both models to
compare the results of finite element model with that obtained from the
transfer matrix model to check the efficiency and accuracy of the
Suggested model. Introduced the results in form of charts and tables. The
factors that affected the behavior of simple and continuous composite
beams such as the effect of shear stiffness of connector, normal stiffness
of connector, number of shear connector and headed stud, concrete slab
thickness, concrete slab width and area of Lowersteel flange are clarified
by a parametric study. The thesis manifests the concluded design and
analysis recommendations of simple and continuous composite beams.
