Description
Summary:Cold-formed steel structural member can be efficient in many applications where conventional hot rolled members prove uneconomic. For the composite beam system, the uses of cold-formed steel section offer the high flexibility in design and several advantages. This experimental is conducted to study the shear behaviour of cold-formed steel concrete composite beam. The experiment that been use is a primarily shear test which is three point load test of simply supported CFS-concrete composite beams subjected to a mid-span load. In order to fully understand the shear behaviour of cold-formed steel (CPS) concrete-composite beam section, a shear test program was carefully designed based on the key parameter required for shear test. Test specimen was designed to fail in shear prior to reach other section properties and to fully understand on shear behaviour of the beam. Test specimens were observed by the shear ficilute (shear yielding and shear buckling) occurred in the tests. Results of six companion's three paint load test specimens are present herein, focusing on the shear behaviour of shear buckling and shear yielding and to compare the result shear. It is concluded that the used of BTTST can get. appropriate strength.
