Mixed structures can provide greater strength and rigidity to the structure due to the interaction between its two constituent materials, concrete and steel. The mixed truss with tubular profiles, in turn, can, in addition ...

Composite systems of semi-continous beams interconnected by composite connections are analized. With an adequate connection between the steel section and the slab, it is possible to make them work together, even in the ...

This work consists of a study about the behavior of steel and compositebeams with web openings. A design procedure for I beams with one or more web openings is developed, using the Limit State Method. The various ultimate ...
