Abstract
An explicit solution is presented for three-layer beams with non-identical and semi-rigidly connected layers. Exact designer-usable equations for calculating mid-span deflection due to bending deformation and interlayer slip of a simply supported layered beam subjected to a uniformly distributed load and a point load applied at mid-span are also given. Calculated results agree well with the results from finite element analyses and from tests.Key words: layered beam, semi-rigid connection, explicit solution.
