No / Composite construction incorporating steel beams and precast hollowcore slabs is a recently developed composite floor system for building construction. As the construction industry demands for rapid construction with reduction in cost and environmental impacts, this form of composite construction, which does not require major onsite concreting, has become very popular among the designers and engineers in the UK. This form of composite construction is so far limited to simple beam-column connections. A semi-rigid composite joint is developed which can provide sufficient moment and rotation capacity required for plastic analysis in composite beams design. An analytical model for the semi-rigid composite connection is proposed and is verified with the experimental data and good agreement is obtained.
