single-sided composite joint configuration; test results; component method
Abstract :
[en] For three years, in the framework of a European research project funded by the
European Community for Steel and Coal (ECSC) in which the Liège University was deeply involved, intensive experimental, numerical and theoretical investigations have been carried out on the behaviour of composite sway buildings under static and seismic loading. This paper presents experimental and analytical studies carried out at Liège University, as part of the above European project, with the objective to investigate the behaviour of a single-sided composite joint configuration under static loading. A particular failure mode occurred during
the experimental tests, which had not yet been detected previously; it is described in details. Then, an analytical formula covering this particular phenomenon and based on a theoretical model is presented; it is validated through comparisons with experimental results.
