Abstract

This paper investigates the behaviour of composite steel-concrete beams under combined flexure and torsion incorporating the effects of partial shear connection by using the finite element analysis method. 3-D finite element models have been developed to account for the geometric and nonlinear behaviour of the materials. This model is then verified by experimental test results. It has been shown that there is an increase in torsional capacity in the presence of flexure but the flexural capacity remains the same in the presence of torsion. A parametric study has been carried out and showed similar trends have been seen even with an increase in span length with an increase in the ratio of torsional capacity when the span increases.
