Title

Design model for composite beam to reinforced concrete wall joints

Authors

Abstract

In this paper, a design model for composite beam to reinforced concrete wall joints is presented and discussed. The proposed model is an extension of the com-ponent method to this type of joints. The characterization of the active components is therefore performed in terms of force-deformation curves. In this type of joints, spe-cial attention is paid to the steel-concrete connection where “new” components, not covered in EN1993-1-8, are activated. The application of the model allows obtaining the joint properties in terms of moment-rotation curve. The accuracy of the proposed model is verified by comparison against available experimental and numerical re-sults. The latter were developed in the FE program ABAQUS and previously validat-ed against experimental results.
