Abstract

The paper is concerned with ultimate load behavior of steel–concrete composite plate girders subjected to combined action of shear and bending. An analytical method is presented to predict the interactive response of the girder. The method considers the tension field action in the plate girder web panel and shear failure of concrete slab. The method is approximate and can be applied to composite plate girders at the preliminary stages of design. Strength of composite plate girders is investigated by varying the moment/shear ratio. It is shown that ultimate load capacity of composite plate girder is influenced by moment/shear ratio. The predicted results are compared with the corresponding finite-element values.
