Abstract

This study focuses on the improvement of composite slabs characterization throughout the use of advanced finite elements models. The accurate three-dimensional modelling of a full scale commercial steel sheet and concrete slab geometries enables the analysis of the composite slab [...]

Abstract

This work presents the computational implementation and evaluation of a generalized strategy based on Strain Compatibility Method to obtain the initial and full yield curves of steel‐concrete composite structures. Due to anisotropy of concrete the evaluation of the full yield capacity [...]
