No / The chapter describes the ongoing work on modeling the semi-rigid composite beam-column connections of composite beams with precast hollow core slabs. Using the finite element (FE) software ABAQUS, a three-dimensional (3D) model of a composite joint is set up. The technique of simulating bolt force, endplate, concrete elements, reinforcement, and shear connectors, and the interaction between slabs and steel beams is presented in the chapter. Preliminary results on the steel joint and simplify composite joint are also presented in the chapter. FE model for the bare steel joints and the simplified composite joints are presented, and the result of the simplified composite model showed good agreement with the experimental result but with lower joint stiffness. Further work on the full finite element model of composite joints is still going on.
