Experimental Research of Performance of a New Fabricated Lightweight Steel-Concrete Composite Floor

Abstract:

For study of mechanical property of a fabricated composite floor consisting of thin-walled steel I beams and lightweight aggregate concrete panels, the static load experiment of the new composite floor was presented and the results was discussed. The specimen was simply supported at the two shorter sides and the other two longer sides free. The equivalent uniform loads are applied to the floor through setting the load blocks on the supper surface of the floor. The vertical displacements, slips between steel beam and concrete panel and strains of the specimen were measured. It was shown that the strain at the bottom of the concrete panel is quite close to the strain at the top flange of the main beam and the strain at bottom flange of the main beam is much larger than the value at top flange.
