| Summary: | This paper presents a simplified partial interaction elastic analysis of composite floor
panels. A theoretical analysis is carried out on repeating section composing of two
elastic beam elements connected longitudinally by linearly elastic connection. The
analysis is based on the assumption that a continuous imperfect connection exists
between the two separate elements. By applying method of elastic equivalence,
expressions for stiffness along the major axis of such composite section is developed.
Results obtained from the authors' full scale experimental studies involving profiled
steel sheet/dryboard composite floor panels are compared with results obtained from
the simplified expressions, and with theoretical results obtained by other researchers.
It is concluded that these expressions are able to predict with reasonable accuracy the
behaviour of composite floor panels |
