Flexural Bearing Capacity Research of Composite Beams with Edge Constraint Component

Abstract

To investigate the flexural bearing capacity in negative moment region of composite beams，we examined different ends constraint components. The modeling of the beam ends connected framework has been done by the finite element software ANSYS. The concrete thickness, slab reinforcement ratio and different component at the edge of the composite framework in the negative moment region are taken into account. The performance during the process of deformation and failure are got by nonlinear analysis. The flexural bearing capacity was reported, with the negative moment region of the composite frame beam, it revealed great differences when the beams are different component. Simulation results show that the concrete thickness take the biggest influence on bearing capacity. The results showed the behaviors of the composite frame beams are different with positive moment region, and calculation based on current code for design of steel structure (GB50017-2003) would be a big deviation.
