Abstract
It has been shown in Chapters 3 and 4 that the composite action between the steel and concrete components of a composite beam induces longitudinal shear forces in the mechanical shear connectors that tie these components together. These longitudinal shear forces are transferred into the concrete component by the dowel action of the mechanical shear connectors, as described in Chapter 5, and then these concentrated dowel forces are dispersed longitudinally and laterally into the concrete component. This chapter deals with the ability of the concrete component to resist the longitudinal component of this dispersal, whereas the lateral component of the dispersal is dealt with in Chapter 10.
