The Structural Engineer, Volume 47, Issue 1, 1969
The paper describes tests on seven simply supported steel-concrete composite T-beams using welded studs as the means of shear connection. All the beams tested had the same cross section and each was tested to failure using a centre point load. Part l of the paper examines the effect of varying the connector spacing upon the general behaviour of the beams, whilst Part 2 examines the effect of varying the amount of transverse reinforcement in the slab. Colin Davies
The paper opens by reviewing the effort devoted to research in relation to expenditure in the construction industry and compares this with other industries. It shows that a substantial sum is spent on structural engineering research and that, while there may be a need for further effort, it is essential for the present scale of effort to be closely co-ordinated and directed at real problems. S.C.C. Bate
