Shear Connection Behaviour and Performance of Steel-Concrete Composite Beams under Seismic and Load Conditions: A Finite Element Analysis
Journal Title: Journal of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
The shear connection behaviour of steel-concrete composite beams is primarily governed by the strength of the connectors and concrete. Modern seismic evaluations and vibrational analyses of composite beams, particularly concerning their load-slip characteristics and shear strength, predominantly rely on push-out test data. In this study, the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been employed to simulate and analyse the shear, bending, and deflection responses of composite beams subjected to various load conditions, in accordance with Eurocode 4 standards. Failure modes, ultimate loads, and sectional capacities were examined in detail. The results indicate that increased strength of both steel and concrete significantly enhances the beam’s capacity in bending. Specifically, flexural and compressive resistance showed marginal improvements of 3.2%, 3.1%, and 3.0%, respectively, as concrete strength increased from 25 N/mm² to 30, 35, and 40 N/mm², while steel strength increased by 27% and 21%, with yield strengths of 275 N/mm², 355 N/mm², and 460 N/mm², respectively. Under seismic loading, however, the ultimate flexural load capacity exhibited a reduction with a fixed beam span, irrespective of steel strength. The shear capacity remained constant across varying beam lengths but demonstrated significant improvements with increased steel yield strength, with enhancements of 29% and 67% as steel yield strength increased from 275 N/mm² to 355 N/mm² and 460 N/mm², respectively. A detailed vibration analysis was also conducted to investigate the dynamic behaviour of these composite beams under seismic conditions. These findings underscore the critical influence of material strengths and loading conditions on the performance of steel-concrete composite beams, particularly in seismic scenarios, providing valuable insights for the design and assessment of such structures in seismic-prone regions.
