Largamente utilizadas nas obras de engenharia civil, as vigas mistas aço-concreto surgem como conseqüência natural da utilização de vigas de aço sob lajes de concreto, proporcionando um melhor aproveitamento das características de cada material constituinte. Para que se comporte como um elemento misto, é necessário haver um trabalho conjunto entre laje e viga, razão pela qual são utilizados elementos metálicos denominados conectores de cisalhamento, que visam restringir o escorregamento longitudinal e o descolamento vertical na interface. Tendo em vista os aspectos mencionados, são apresentados neste trabalho modelos numéricos tridimensionais de vigas mistas com vistas a simular o seu comportamento estrutural, principalmente no referente à interface entre viga de aço e laje de concreto. Os modelos são constituídos por vigas mistas simplesmente apoiadas com laje de faces planas e conectores de cisalhamento do tipo pino com cabeça. As simulações foram realizadas por meio do código de cálculo ANSYS versão 8.0, que tem como base o método dos elementos finitos. Os resultados obtidos foram comparados com valores experimentais, extraídos de trabalhos apresentados por outros pesquisadores / Widely used in civil engineering frameworks, steel-concrete composite beams appear as consequence of the use of steel beams with concrete slab, providing better management of each constituent material properties. To act as a composite element, it is necessary that the slab and the beam work together, aspect obtained by using metallic elements called shear connectors, that restrict the longitudinal slipping and the uplifting between steel beam and concrete slab. In this sense, this work presents three-dimensional numerical models of steel-concrete composite beams in order to simulate its structural behavior with emphasis, in particular, at the interface between steel beam and concrete slab. The numerical models are constituted of simply supported composite beams with plain faces slab and stud bolt shear connectors. The simulations had been carried out by means of the code ANSYS version 8.0, based on finite elements method. The results had been compared with experimental values, extracted of works presented by others researchers

Neste trabalho, foram estudadas as vigas compostas formadas por viga e laje pré-moldadas de concreto. A ligação empregada na interface era constituída por conectores metálicos associados com concreto moldado no local. Os conectores eram formados por vergalhões de aço dobrados em forma de laço, que eram inseridos em nichos existentes na laje pré-moldada. A ligação era realizada preenchendo os nichos com concreto de alto desempenho. O objetivo foi caracterizar a ligação viga-laje e analisar o comportamento à flexão das vigas compostas com laje pré-moldada. Foram realizados ensaios de cisalhamento direto sob carregamento monotônico, tendo sido observados aumentos de 250% na resistência da ligação devido à substituição da ligação plana e lisa por outra com chave de cisalhamento. A partir desses ensaios, foi proposto um modelo analítico para representar o comportamento das ligações com chave de cisalhamento, considerando a influência da resistência do concreto, do diâmetro do conector e da adição de fibras metálicas à ligação. Foram realizados ensaios de cisalhamento direto com carregamento cíclico não reversível, tendo sido observado menores perdas de rigidez na ligação devido à adição de fibras. Os resultados de ensaios em vigas mostraram que a resistência à flexão da viga composta está diretamente relacionada com a resistência ao cisalhamento da interface. O dimensionamento adequado da interface garantiu à viga composta com laje pré-moldada um comportamento semelhante ao das vigas com laje moldada no local. Dessa forma, esse sistema apresenta-se como uma alternativa viável ao sistema com laje moldada no local. / Composite beams formed by precast beam and precast deck were studied in this work. The connection used in the interface was constituted by steel connectors associated with cast-in-place concrete. Steel bars bent in hoop form constituted the connectors, which were inserted in shear pockets in the precast deck. The connection was carried out filling the shear pockets with high performance concrete. The objective was to characterize the beam-deck connection and to analyze the flexural behavior of the composite beams with precast deck. Push-out tests with monotonic loading were carried out, and it was observed an increase of 250% in the shear strength of the connection due to the substitution of the plane smooth surface for other with shear-key. Based on these tests, an analytic model to represent the behavior of the connections with shear-key was proposed, considering the influence of the strength of the cast-in-place concrete, the diameter of the connector and the addition of steel fibers to the connection. Push-out tests with no reversible cyclic loading were carried out, and it was observed lower shear stiffness degradation in the connection due to the addition of fibers. The results of beam tests showed that the flexural strength of the composite beam is directly related to the shear strength of the interface. The appropriate design of the interface guaranteed to the composite beam with precast deck a flexural behavior similar to the beams with cast-in-place deck. In that way, the system with precast deck is a viable alternative to the system with cast-in-pace deck.

When dealing with metal structures, it was noticed some changes regarding the standards of the involved material due to its lack of availability; such measures do not always follow satisfactory structural procedures. This research aims to develop a comparative study about the technical behavior of mixed steel-concrete from three different types of shear connectors (U, U and L cold formed laminated), analyzing their connectors structural behavior when associated with steel beams (Type I rolled and concrete slab). There were three direct shear tests for each type of connector, resulting in a total of nine pieces, and six trials (simply supported composite beams) to evaluate the positive bending moment region. The results indicated that the direct shear behavior between the types of connectors had important and different outcomes; however, they didn t affect significantly the average resistance of the bending mixed beams. Such beams showed considerable results regarding their deflection and deformation performance due to their connectors stiffness. / Dentre os diversos sistemas estruturais e construtivos existentes, destacam-se os sistemas formados por elementos mistos aço-concreto, cuja combinação de perfis de aço e concreto visa aproveitar as vantagens de cada material, tanto em termos estruturais como construtivos. Um fato corriqueiro que pode ser observado na execução de obras metálicas é a substituição de perfis especificados em projeto por outros equivalentes. Essa substituição, muitas vezes motivada pela falta do material especificado, nem sempre atende a uma equivalência de comportamento estrutural satisfatória. Neste trabalho é abordado um estudo comparativo do comportamento estrutural de vigas com seção mista aço-concreto, para três diferentes tipos de conectores de cisalhamento em perfil U laminado, U e L formados a frio. O objetivo é estudar o comportamento estrutural desses conectores associados a vigas metálicas em perfil I laminado e laje de concreto. Para cada tipo de conector foram realizados três ensaios de cisalhamento direto, resultando num total de nove peças, além de seis ensaios em vigas mistas simplesmente apoiadas para avaliação da região de momento fletor positivo. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que o comportamento ao cisalhamento direto entre os diferentes tipos de conectores apresentam significativa diferença, entretanto não influenciaram significativamente na resistência média das vigas mistas à flexão. Estas porém, apresentaram diferenças consideráveis de deflexões e deformações em virtude das diferenças de rigidez dos conectores.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo investigar a contribuição da armadura para a capacidade resistente de vigas mistas parcialmente revestidas, bem como sua eficiência para promover o comportamento conjunto aço-concreto, imprescindível para a obtenção de vigas mistas. O estudo engloba uma investigação experimental com ensaios de vigas sob flexão em quatro pontos e uma simulação numérica utilizando o pacote computacional DIANA®, visando obter dados do comportamento de vigas mistas parcialmente revestidas com armadura longitudinal. Foram ensaiados quatro modelos de viga mista parcialmente revestida e duas variáveis foram analisadas: taxa de armadura longitudinal no concreto e posição dos conectores tipo pino com cabeça. Os resultados experimentais mostraram a eficiência do conjunto armadura-conector para o aumento da capacidade resistente à flexão e para a promoção da interação aço-concreto. A simulação numérica teve concordância satisfatória com os resultados experimentais obtidos. / This study aims to investigate the contribution of the steel bars to the flexure capacity and to promote the composite behavior in partially encased composite beams. The study includes an experimental investigation of partially encased beams under bending in four points and a numerical simulation using the computer package DIANA® to collect data from the behavior of partially encased composite beams with longitudinal reinforcement. Four models of partially encased composite beams were tested and two variables were analyzed: rate of longitudinal reinforcement in concrete and position of stud bolts. The experimental results showed the efficiency of the junction between reinforcing bars and stud bolt to the increase the bending capacity of the partially encased beam and to obtain the steel-concrete interaction. The numerical simulation has good agreement with the experimental results.

Quick and accurate predictions of equivalent properties for thin-walled composite structures are required in the preliminary design process. Existing literature provides analytical solutions to some structures but is limited to particular cases. No unified approach exists to tackle homogenization of thin-walled structures such as beams, plates, or three-dimensional structures using the thin-walled approximation. In this work, a unified approach is proposed to obtain equivalent properties for beams, plates, and three-dimensional structures for thin-walled composite structures using mechanics of structure genome. The adopted homogenization technique interprets the unit cell associated with the composite structures as an assembly of plates, and the overall strain energy density of the unit cell as a summation of the plate strain energies of these individual plates. The variational asymptotic method is then applied to drop all higher-order terms and the remaining energy is minimized with respect to the unknown fluctuating functions. This has been done by discretizing the two-dimensional unit cell into one-dimensional frame elements in a finite element description. This allows the handling of structures with different levels of complexities and internal geometry within a general framework. Comparisons have been made with other works to show the advantages which the proposed model offers over other methods.

[pt] Nesta dissertação, foi desenvolvido um estudo teórico-experimental de um sistema pré-fabricado de vigamentos mistos de pisos de edificações. O modelo estrutural consiste em vigas mistas do tipo duplo T, onde as nervuras são constituídas por uma viga celular formada a partir de um perfil I laminado, parcialmente embutido na laje de concreto. Após a montagem das vigas-mistas na obra, é feito um capeamento de concreto armado para solidarização do conjunto. Uma grande vantagem deste sistema é proporcionar a integração do piso com o sistema de instalações prediais, por meio da passagem de dutos pelas aberturas do perfil metálico. São apresentados os detalhes do sistema construtivo, bem como as recomendações de projeto. Foi executada uma análise paramétrica para avaliação do comportamento estrutural em termos de eficiência estrutural, visando-se principalmente a redução de custos de fabricação e velocidade de montagem. Com base neste estudo, foi desenvolvido um programa experimental no Laboratório de Estruturas e Materiais da PUC-Rio, para análise do comportamento carga/deformação e da resistência última à flexão dos protótipos submetidos a um carregamento estático. Com os dados obtidos, fez-se uma comparação com os resultados previstos. Os resultados experimentais confirmaram as previsões de resistência fornecidas pelas recomendações de projeto. / [en] In this research, is present a theoretical and experimental study of the prefabricated composite beams system. The structural model consists of composite beams of double T type where the ribs are constituted by an asymmetric I-section cellular beam, partially embedded in the concrete slab. After installation of the beams in the work, it is made a reinforced concrete capping for solidarity assembly. A great advantage of this system is integrate the floor with the building installations system, by passing ducts through the openings of the metal profile. This dissertation presents the system with the general details of construction and design. A parametric analysis was performed to assess the structural behavior in terms of structural efficiency. It is mainly aimed at reducing manufacturing costs and speed of assembly. Based on this study, was developed an experimental program in the Structure and Materials Laboratory at PUC-Rio, to analyze the behavior load / deformation and ultimate flexural strength of prototypes subjected to a static loading. With the obtained data, a comparison is made with the expected results analytically. The experimental results confirmed the estimated strength given by the design recommendations.

<p>The Mechanics of Structural Genome (MSG) is a unified homogenization theory used to find equivalent constitutive models for beam, plate, and solid structures. It has been proven accurate for periodic structures. However, for certain applications such as non-prismatic wind turbine blades and helicopter flexbeams featuring ply drop-off, where there is no repeating structure and the periodic boundary condition cannot be used, MSG's accuracy is limited. In this work, we aim to extend MSG to find element stiffness matrices directly for aperiodic structures, instead of beam properties or three-dimensional (3D) solid material properties. Two finite elements based on MSG have been developed: Heterogeneous Beam Element (HBE) and Heterogeneous Solid Element (HSE).</p> <p><br></p> <p>For beam modeling, the beam-like structure is homogenized into a series of 3-node Heterogeneous Beam Elements (HBE) with 18×18 effective beam element stiffness matrices. These matrices are used as input for one-dimensional (1D) beam analysis using the Abaqus User Element subroutine (UEL). Using the macroscopic beam analysis results as input, we can also perform dehomogenization to predict the stresses and strains in the original structure. We use three examples (a prismatic composite beam, an isotropic homogeneous tapered beam, and a composite tapered beam) to demonstrate the capability of HBE and show its advantages over the MSG cross-sectional analysis approach. HBE can capture macroscopic behavior and detailed stresses due to non-prismatic geometry.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The Heterogeneous Solid Element (HSE) is developed based on MSG to model a heterogeneous body as an equivalent solid element using an effective element stiffness matrix. HSE modeling includes homogenization, macroscopic global analysis, and dehomogenization to recover local strains/stresses. HSE avoids the local periodicity assumption for traditional multiscale modeling techniques for composite structures that compute effective material properties instead. Abaqus composite solid element and MSG-based traditional multiscale modeling are used to validate the accuracy of HSE. All example results show that HSE is more accurate in predicting global structural behavior and local strains/stresses.</p> <p><br></p> <p>HBE and HSE provide a new concept for modeling aperiodic composite structures by modeling structures into equivalent beam or solid elements instead of beam properties of the reference line in 1D beam analysis or material properties of material points in solid structural analysis.</p>

In composite beam design, headed stud shear connectors are commonly used to transfer longitudinal shear forces across the steel¿concrete interface. Present knowledge of the load¿slip behavior and the shear capacity of the shear stud in composite beam are limited to data obtained from the experimental push-off tests. For this purpose, an effective numerical model using the finite element method to simulate the push-off test was proposed. The model has been validated against test results and compared with data given in the current Code of Practices, i.e., BS5950, EC4, and AISC. Parametric studies using this model were preformed to investigate variations in concrete strength and shear stud diameter. The finite element model provided a better understanding to the different modes of failure observed during experimental testing and hence shear capacity of headed shear studs in solid concrete slabs
