| Abstract |
Due to the depression of economy, the resent construction market is in need of new process of the construction technology, which is efficient and economically sustainable development. Especially, due to the increase in steel costs, the research and development for the composite beam of steel frame buildings is actively taking place. Most types of the existing field assembly composite beams are concrete encased composite beams and they can be divided in two types: one is to produce in factories and assembled on site, such as common steel frame structure, the other is to place concrete after making a form around H-Beam. In the former case, the poured concrete increases the weight of beam and it causes a lot of time in handling on site. In the latter case, producing the form in the field results in an increase of construction time. Hence, this study shall develop the composite beam, which is able to solve the problems mentioned above. Besides it shall be verified its performance by experiment. |
