Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, steel–concrete composite structures have been widely promoted and applied in the world. There have been many new technologies related to steel–concrete composite structures. This Special Issue is to bring together researchers and researcher scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on steel–concrete composite structures. Prospective authors are kindly encouraged to submit high-quality research contributions describing original and unpublished results of conceptual, constructive, experimental, or theoretical work in the areas of steel–concrete composite structures. Research work should be focused on composite columns, composite girders, composite shear walls, composite joints, or composite members.

Prof. Dr. Lanhui Guo

Abstract
The failure modes of tie-bars under monotonic loading and cyclic loading are ductility and brittleness, respectively. They can significantly affect the design for tie-bars in a steel plate–concrete (SC) composite structure. A 3D finite element model of a SC composite beam was developed [...] Read more.
The failure modes of tie-bars under monotonic loading and cyclic loading are ductility and brittleness, respectively. They can significantly affect the design for tie-bars in a steel plate–concrete (SC) composite structure. A 3D finite element model of a SC composite beam was developed and verified through a quasi-static test. Two rules on the interfacial shear distribution were deduced and verified. Then, a total of 188 finite element models were developed to investigate the minimum shear connection ratio of tie-bars in SC composite beams, which can ensure the sufficient energy dissipation capacity of a SC composite beam under out-of-plane cyclic loading. The influences of the shear connection ratio, shear span versus depth ratio, stiffness, and number of tie-bars on the seismic behavior of a SC composite beam were investigated. Finally, a design method for tie-bars in the SC composite beam under out-of-plane cyclic loading was proposed. Full article
