Abstract
The maximum possible flexural strength or moment capacity of a simply supported composite beam can be derived from rigid plastic analyses in which it is assumed that all the materials are fully yielded and have unlimited ductility. In order to obtain this upper bound to the flexural strength, it is necessary to ensure that the following modes of failure do not occur prematurely' local buckling of the rectangular elements of the steel component which are dealt with in Chapter 2; lateral-distortional buckling of the steel component as described in Chapter 13; fracture of the shear connectors because of their limited slip capacity as described in Chapter 5; and failure of the concrete component of the composite member due to the concentrated dowel loads imposed on it by the shear connectors as covered in Chapters 6, 10 and 11.
