Abstract

Considers connections in frames where steel beams act compositely with concrete floor slabs, the structural interaction of the beams and slabs allows smaller beams to be used in a frame of given stiffness and strength. Shear connectors provide the means of enhancing moment capacity and stiffness by transferring longitudinal shear.
