Research on Design and ANSYS of Joints between Steel Beams and Reinforced Concrete Columns

Abstract:

Environmentally sustainable building construction has experienced significant growth during the past 10 years. The public is becoming more aware of the benefits of green construction,and green building is leading to changes in the way of owners, designers, contractors, and approach of the design, construction. A new type of frame consisting of steel beam and reinforced concrete column (RCS) installing efficient and light heat insulation wall has been presented in composite frame. The composite frame fully develops the merits of steel and concrete, and thus is reasonable and economical from both structural and construction viewpoints. The chief aim of the present work is to establish the design procedures for RCS joints based on the existing standards in china. The research has recorded valuable experimental data using the method of the nonlinear three-dimensional ANSYS finite element.The research work introduces an amended design formula,which takes account the effect of ratio of axial compression stress to strength. Some effective design suggestions are given as a reference to the structural engineer.
