Dynamic Analysis of Steel-Concrete Composite Frames with Partial Interaction

Abstract:

The finite element formulations of steel-concrete composite (SCC) beams considering interlayer slip with end shear restraint were established. Free vibrations of SCC beams and frame structures under different slip boundary conditions were examined. The influences of the shear connection stiffness and the slip boundary condition on dynamic characteristics were analyzed. It is shown that the low order 8-DOF element may exhibit slip locking phenomenon in free vibration analysis for very stiff connection. The free vibration frequencies of composite beams and frame structures increase with the shear connection stiffness increasing. Besides, it is found that the natural vibration properties of SCC frame structures are significantly affected by the slip boundary condition, and it should be suitably imposed on all composite beams in dynamic analysis.
