Interference Behaviour in Steel Concrete Composite Construction

Abstract

The objective of this study is to obtain the most effective utilization of steel and concrete by the method of composite construction through obtaining proper interaction between steel and concrete. Composite construction has various advantages compared to normal method of non composite construction. It provides greater stiffness and provides good strength against bending. By providing proper interaction we can obtain a more economical section and sections with good structural properties It is also a fast track construction practice. Both theoretical and software analysis of normal composite section and a section with profiled steel sheeting have been presented. After analysis it is found that shear connectors and profiled steel sheeting are advantageous in strength increment, reducing deflection and other factors.
