Composite T-beams represent an efficient and economical structural beam element for a
wide range of structural applications. A T-beam subjected to a positive bending moment …

Structural engineering design is replete with uncertainties, some of which are obvious and
some of which many engineers may never have considered. This paper is an examination of …

To support the design and application of timber-concrete composite (TCC) floor systems, the
effective width of the TCC beams with crossed inclined coach screw connections at the …

Due to the influence of steel beam web, the concrete slab and steel box-beam flange would
undergo significant war** in steel–concrete composite decks with wide slab. Such …

A timber composite beam consists of a cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel attached to a
girder such as a laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beam. Under positive bending moment, part …

Although several studies in the field of steel-concrete composite beams reported that the
effective concrete slab width depends on the loading stage of such beams (ie serviceability …

In a steel–concrete composite beam section, part of the concrete slab acts as the flange of
the girder in resisting the longitudinal compression. The well-known shear-lag effect causes …

Traditional definition of the effective width of steel-concrete composite beam is based on a
certain beam section. Section-based effective width changes from one section to another …

The purpose of this article is to review the impact of stiffening the flange on the flexural
behavior of box beams. Steel box beams with stiffeners applied to their flanges have a …

The nonuniform normal stress distribution along the flange of thin-walled flexural members,
such as box girders, is recognized as shear lag effects. Effective flange width is widely used …
