Say we consider a beam made up of thin layers (laminae) aligned with the longitudinal axis of the beam, and for which the laminae can slide with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis as ...

To explore a new type of steel–concrete composite beam, which can save the material to reduce the self-weight of the members, and also facilitate the arrangement of the pipeline. In this paper, a ...

Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) composite structures fully utilize the advantages of both steel and concrete structures 1, while compensating for the brittle failure of concrete and local buckling ...

The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...
