Abstract
The paper deals with the detailed three-dimensional finite element modelling of typical interior beam-to-column intersection zone of composite frames under horizontal loading. The modelling takes into account the non-linear material properties of the different components: column, longitudinal beam, transverse beam, reinforced concrete slab and shear connectors. The studied element is the longitudinal composite beam, which is chosen to dissipate the earthquake energy. The characteristics of the slab and of the shear connectors are the critical points of the design. The paper presents the basic modelling, its calibration on a subassembly tested experimentally and the study of the influence of the presence and efficiency of transverse beams.
