The composite beam connections often encountered fracture failure in the welded bottom flange joint, and a bottom flange bolted connection has been proposed to increase the deformation ability of the bottom flange joint. The seismic performance of the bottom flange bolted composite beam connection was suffered from both the composite action of concrete slab and the asymmetric load transfer mechanisms between top and bottom beam flange joints. Thus, this paper presents a comprehensive numerical study on the working mechanism of the bottom flange bolted composite beam connections. Three available modelling methods and a new modelling method on the flange-stud-slab interactions were compared. The efficient numerical modeling method was selected and then applied to the parametric study. The influence of the composite slab, the bottom flange bolts, the shear composite ratio and the web hole shape on the seismic performance of the bottom flange bolted composite beam connections were investigated. A hogging strength calculation method was then proposed based on numerical results.

This paper presents an experimental study on the behavior of composite floor slab comprised by a new steel sheet and concrete slab. The strength of composite slabs depends mainly on the strength of the connection between the steel sheet and concrete, which is denoted by longitudinal shear strength. The composite slabs have three main failures modes, failure by bending, vertical shear failure and longitudinal shear failure. These modes are based on the load versus deflection curves that are obtained in bending tests. The longitudinal shear failure is brittle due to the mechanical connection was not capable of transferring the shear force until the failure by bending occurs. The vertical shear failure is observed in slabs with short span, large heights and high concentrated loads subjected near the supports. In order to analyze the behavior of the composite slab with a new steel sheet, six bending tests were undertaken aiming to provide information on their longitudinal shear strength, and to assess the failure mechanisms of the proposed connections. Two groups of slabs were tested, one with 3000 mm in length and other with 1500 mm in length. The tested composite slabs showed satisfactory composite behavior and longitudinal shear resistance, as good as well, the analysis confirmed that the developed sheet is suitable for use in composite structures without damage to the global behavior.

The steel-concrete double composite girder in the negative flexural region combines an additional concrete slab to the steel bottom flange to prevent the local steel buckling, however, the additional concrete slab may lower down the neutral axis of the composite section, which is a sensitive factor to the tensile stress restraint on the concrete deck. This is actually of great importance to the structural rationality and durability, but has not been investigated in detail yet. In this case, a series of 5.5 m-long composite girder specimens were tested by negative bending, among which the bottom slab configuration and the longitudinal reinforcement ratio in the concrete deck were the parameters. Furthermore, an analytical study concerning about the influence of bottom concrete slab thickness on the cracking and sectional bending-carrying capacity were carried out. The test results showed that the additional concrete at the bottom improved the composite sectional bending stiffness and bending-carrying capacity, whereas its effect on the concrete crack distribution was not obvious. According to the analytical study, the additional concrete slab at the bottom with an equivalent thickness to the concrete deck slab may provide the best contributions to the improvements of crack initiation bending moment and the sectional bending-carrying capacity. This can be applied for the design practice.

An innovated type of the flat steel plate-lightweight aggregate concrete hollow composite slab was presented in this paper. This kind of the slab is composed of flat steel plate and the lightweight aggregate concrete slab, which were interfaced with a set of perfobond shear connectors (PBL shear connectors) with circular hollow structural sections (CHSS) and the shear stud connectors. Five specimens were tested under static monotonic loading. In the test, the influence of shear span/height ratios and arrangements of CHSS on bending capacity and flexural rigidity of the composite slabs were investigated. Based on the test results, the crack patterns, failure modes, the bending moment-curvature curves as well as the strains of the flat steel plate and the concrete were focused and analyzed. The test results showed that the flat steel plate was fully connected to the lightweight aggregate concrete slab and no obvious slippage was observed between the steel plate and the concrete, and the composite slabs performed well in terms of bending capacity, flexural rigidity and ductility. It was further shown that all of the specimens failed in bending failure mode regardless of the shear span/height ratios and the arrangement of CHSS. Moreover, the plane-section assumption was proved to be valid, and the calculated formulas for predicting the bending capacity and the flexural rigidity of the composite slabs were proposed on the basis of the experimental results.

Steel-concrete composite slabs represent a very efficient floor solution combining the key performance of two different materials: the steel and the concrete. Composite slab response is governed by the degree of the interaction between these two materials, mainly depending by chemical and mechanical bond. The latter is characterized by a limited degree of confinement if compared with the one of the rebars in reinforced concrete members while the former is remarkably influenced by the type of concrete and the roughness of the profiled surface, frequently lubricated during the cold-forming manufacturing processes. Indeed, owing to the impossibility to guarantee a full interaction between the two materials, a key parameter governing slab design is represented by the horizontal shear-bond strength, which should be always experimentally estimated. According to EC4, the design of the slab bending resistance, is based on the simplified assumption that the decking sheet is totally yielded, i.e., always in plastic range, despite experimental and numerical researches demonstrate that a large part of the steel deck resists in elastic range when longitudinal shear collapse is achieved. In the paper, the limit strain for composite slab, which corresponds to the slip, i.e., the debonding between the two materials, has been appraised by means of a refined numerical method used for the simulation of experimental results obtained on 8 different composite slab types. In total, 71 specimens have been considered, differing for the properties of the materials, cross-section of the trapezoidal profiled metal sheets and specimen lengths.

데크플레이트를 사용한 합성슬래브가 합성거동을 발휘하기 위해서는 데크플레이트와 콘크리트의 부착강도가 확보되어야한다. 합성슬래브에서 전단부착강도는 콘크리트와 데크플레이트의 화학적 부착력, 마찰저항 기계적 상호작용에 의해 발생한다. 또 기계적 상호작용은 길이 방향 전단력 전달 장치인 엠보싱 및 쉬어코넥터, 데크플레이트 형상 등에 의해서 확보되어 진다. 그리고 기계적 상호작용의 효과는 상호 접착부의 수직박리를 구속할 수 있는 데크의 형상과 쉬어코넥터 설치에 따른 단부정착 여부에 따라 크게 달라진다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 폐쇄형 데크플레이트에 대하여 기계적 전달장치인 엠보싱과 쉬어 코넥터로 사용되는 스터드 볼트에 대한 전단 보강장치의 부착효과를 Push-off 실험을 통하여 규명하였으며 이들 인자들에 대하여 제안식을 제시하였다. 이는 합성슬래브 설계방법의 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, steel-concrete composite slab decks have been widely used as highway bridge decks. In the construction of the composite slab decks, it is necessary to join two adjacent blocked bottom plates to form one unite in the longitudinal direction. In this paper, several types of longitudinal direction joints for Robinson type composite slab decks ared proposed herein and static bending test are carried out by using slab specimens. And the stress and deformation of the tensile grip connection with high strength bolts are discussed by using three-dimensional elastic-plastic FEM.

강합성 교량은 자중의 감소, 강성의 증대, 장지간의 적용 등의 재료적 특성에 힘입어 1920년대 이래로 사용되어져 왔다. 그러나 연속교의 경우 내부지점부에서 발생하는 부모멘트로 인하여 콘크리트 부분에 균열이 생기고 콘크리트의 건조수축이나 Creep으로 인한 문제들이 제기 됨에 따라 슬랩앵커를 이용한 부분합성교량이 제기 되었다. 부분합성의 경우 어느 정도의 슬립을 허용하여 이러한 문제를 극복할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 슬랩앵커의 탄성구간에서의 초기 강성값을 실험을 통하여 알아내고, 단순지지인 경우와 연속교의 경우에 대하여 범용 프로그램을 이용하여 슬래브와 강재를 연결시키는 조인트 요소의 강성값을 변화시켜 전단연결재의 강성값에 따른 합성정도와 내부지점부의 콘크리트 슬래브의 인장응력이 어떤 변화양상을 나타내는지 파악하고자 한다.

하프PC 슬래브는 시공중에 슬래브 판에 균열이 발생하기 쉽고 이러한 균열들을 보수보강 하지 않은 상태에서 덧침콘크리트를 타설할 경우 합성슬래브의 내력에 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료된다. 하지만 하프PC 슬래브에 발생한 균열이 합성슬래브의 구조성능에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 아직까지 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하프PC 슬래브에 발생한 균열이 합성 슬래브의 내력에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 덧침 콘크리트를 타설하기 전에 하프PC 슬래브에 균열을 발생시킨 시험체와 균열이 없는 합성슬래브 시험체를 제작하여 슬래브의 휨 성능을 검토하였다.
