Design of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures: Bennet Kuriakose

The document discusses the design of steel-concrete composite structures, specifically steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich composites. SCS composites comprise two external steel plates with a concrete core in between. Composite action is achieved through mechanical connectors. SCS composites have advantages like high strength and stiffness but also disadvantages like large corrosion surfaces and fatigue issues due to welding. SCS composites are used in applications like ship hulls, tunnels, shelters, and power plant walls. The document covers connection design, structural behavior, and analysis assumptions for SCS composites.

Introduction
• Steel-concrete-steel (SCS)
sandwich composite structure
comprises of two external steel
plates with a concrete core filled
in between them
• The composite action between
the steel and concrete core is
achieved by using mechanical
connectors

• Disadvantages
– Large corrosion surface will be generated if using
stiffened plates so that needs expensive corrosive
protection.
– Moreover, fatigue issue becomes more pronounced issue
due to much welding.
– Weldability issue should be addressed if high tensile
strength steel and thick steel plates are used

• Uses:
– Ice – resisting walls

– ship hulls
– tunnels
– military shelters
– nuclear power station walls

Connection
• Bi-Steel panels are made using friction welding.
• In this process the connector is clamped between the
face plates.
• The connector is then rotated, generating frictional
heat simultaneously at each plate.
• With appropriate rotational speed and clamping force,
sufficient heat is generated to make the material at
the interface become plastic.
• The softened surface materials are extruded from the
interface, taking with them any surface contaminants.
• Once the weld zone is adequately heated, rotation is
stopped allowing the surfaces to forge together.

Analysis
• Assumptions:
– The concrete beneath the neutral axis (NA) is
assumed to be cracked.
– The forces in the steel plates depend on the yield
strength and shear strength of material used for
the connectors in resisting interfacial shear
stresses in between the steel plate and the
concrete core.
– It is also assumed that sufficient shear
connectors are provided to prevent local bucking
of the steel plate in compression.
