Abstract
Cold-formed U-shaped steel and concrete composite beam is a kind of composite beam which the steel and the concrete are integrated by welding connections on the cold-formed U-shaped steel and then pouring concrete on the steel. Now, many experts and scholars have carried out many experimental research and theoretical analysis about it. But, prestressed Cold-formed U-shaped steel and concrete composite beams have not been studied. Based on the structure , the nonlinear analysis mode of prestressed cold-formed U-shaped steel and concrete composite beams is proposed, the calculating program is researched. The calculating results show that the bearing capacity of composite beam increases with the increments of thickness of steel plate and concrete strength, and the thickness of steel plate has a larger effect than the width of the flange plate of concrete, applying prestress can enhance the bearing capacity and flexural rigidity of the composite beam.
