1 Robustness of continuous steel-concrete composite beams of slender plain webbed and cellular open webbed sections Marian A. GIZEJOWSKI Leslaw KWASNIEWSKI Wael SALAH Faculty of Civil Engineering Warsaw University i of ftechnology

2 Outline of the presentation Introductory remarks and objectives Slender section castellated composite beams Results of experimental investigations Proposed computer FE simulations with use of ABAQUS Comparison of results from simulations and experiments Final remarks

3 Basic restrained instability modes of composite beams in hogging moment regions Local buckling Lateral-torsional- torsional distortional buckling Lateral-distortional buckling Torsional- distortional buckling

4 Load-deflection deflection curves of slender section composite beams with different regions of the bending moment diagram Composite beam with the sagging moment region Composite beam with the hogging moment region

5 Continuous or semi-continuous castellated steel-concrete composite beams in multi-story buildings

6 Castellation process Castellation process for I-rolled section h 1.5 d Built-up up section with web openings

7 Advantages of using castellated sections in modern structures Steel castellated beams are lighter than conventional plain webbed shapes. Greater flexural stiffness of the castellated beams allows for creating flexible floor plans that tare free of interior i columns. The web openings are used to pass the services allowing to minimize the floor depth.

8 Disadvantages of using castellated sections in composite beams More severe conditions for restrained distortional instability of both the web and the bottom flange in the negative bending moment regions than in the case of plain webbed beams. Lower shear force resistance of the steel part of the composite section.

9 State-of-the-art t th tand research objective Previous conducted researches A review has been made of research work carried out to date on the effect of openings on the behaviour of thin-walled composite beams. Research was focused on simply supported composite beams with web openings. Current study objective This study aims to widen the knowledge of the behaviour of thin- walled composite beams for the behaviour in the negative moment region.

35 Conclusions The behaviour of statically indeterminate castellated composite beams is more complex than thatt of simply supported beams. A castellated composite beam may be subjected to different instability effects in the negative moment regions where the bottom compression flange of the beam is unrestrained. The experimental tests indicate that the shape of the web opening has the significant effect on both, the ultimate load and the stiffness degradation up to and beyond the limit point on the equilibrium path.

36 Conclusions Within the same opening shape, there is no visible effect of steel grades S355 and S420 on the bh behavior of both, slender section long span and short span composite beam specimens. For slender welded steel sections, it is important to include the average value of measured web thickness and the effect of residual stresses, e.g. by using an equivalent stress-strain diagram dependent upon the material imperfection factor n, as it has been proposed herein.

37 Conclusions The calibration exercise shows that the maximum amplitude of geometric imperfections may be taken as equal to the nominal web thickness, material imperfection factor should be taken as n=2 2 and the concrete zero-tension strain ε cr as 0.1 and 0.01 for two different concrete properties used for long and short span beams, respectively. Both experimental investigations and the Finite Element modeling show that the unrestrained bottom flange of long span beams are forced to distort laterally whereas the short span beams become distorted only torsionally. Both distortional buckling modes, lateral and torsional for the long and short span beams respectively, are precisely captured in the numerical FE simulations with respect to the deformation patterns and the local values of the deformed shape amplitudes.

38 Future research FE calibration vs. hierarchical validation 1. Concrete tension softening parameter ε cr - experimental bending test on concrete beams/plates 2. Mt Material ilimperfection parameter (n). - laboratory coupon tension and bending tests (steel) 3. Nominal and measured web plate thickness (+ 2) - experimental bending test on rectangular steel plates 4. Geometrical imperfections (+ 2 and 3) - experimental bending test on castellated beams without concrete
