Abstract

This paper investigates the composite beam with bolt shear connectors. Composite beams are usually used as secondary beam in buildings. It is clear that studying the torsion in side beams in buildings such as balconies is of great importance. The composite beam was loaded under three different loading conditions including a pure flexural loading, and simultaneous flexural loading with two alternative torsional loading modes. The obtained results from the analysis were compared with each other by three-dimensional non-linear finite element model using ABAQUS. The obtained results, including the mid span deflection, the rotation and slip of composite beams under different loading conditions were investigated. The effect of the type and number of shear connectors on slip of composite beam was studied, too. The results indicated that the slip between the steel beam and the concrete slab along the composite beam increased due to flexure loading, but the torsional loading had a slight effect on the slip.
