Behavior of steel– concrete partially composite beams with channel type


shear connectors
Eray Baran a,1, Cem Topkaya

There exists a complex interaction between the steel beam and the
concrete slab in composite beams due to the presence of mechanical
connectors at the interface. In general, the mechanical connectors do
not provide a perfect connection, resulting in slip of the two components relative to each other. Therefore, calculation of strength and stiffne
the interface. While the behavior is complex and diffcult to determine
for a particular value of the applied action, the ultimate strength and
stiffness of composite beams can be predicted fairly accurately using
simplifed models
