Abstract
A beam model is developed for the static analysis of composite steel-concrete beams and twin-girder decks which takes into account the effects of shear lag phenomenon as well as the interfacial slip between the concrete slab and steel joists. A sinus distribution is considered for the axial displacements of the concrete slab and steel joists. This kinematic represents the transverse shear strain in the concrete slab and steel joists using a cosine function. The considered kinematic satisfies the boundary conditions of transverse shear stress on the top and bottom surfaces and does not need any shear correction factor. The shear lag effects are introduced by prescribing the warping shape of the slab cross-section and taking its intensity as axial unknowns. A conforming three-nodded 25-dof beam element is derived for numerical simulations. The presented model has been validated by comparing the obtained results with elasticity solutions, 3D finite element results and other analytical and numerical models available in the open literature.
