Nonlinear Analysis of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures: State of the Art
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 130, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper presents the current state of the art of nonlinear analysis of steel-concrete composite structures. The focus is on frame elements, which are computationally faster than continuum finite element models. First, section models are presented, with a review of resultant and fiber models and a discussion of possible practical applications. The presentation of frame elements follows. Models with lumped and distributed inelasticity, as well as models with perfect and partial connections are covered. Rigid and partially restrained joints are then reviewed and discussed at length. A discussion of the analysis of structural walls completes the presentation of the models. Modeling applications to the analysis of composite frames are also presented. This state-of-the-art review focuses on developments that have stemmed from the recently completed National Science Foundation sponsored U.S.-Japan program on composite and hybrid structures.
