Abstract The existing Double T-Beams have been positively constructed in America and Europe due to their elegant appearance and simple section shapes. However, there are some problems: thery are relatively weak in the structural resistance, and need to use somewhat limited and complicated construction methods. In this paper, new composite beams made of concrete and steel are proposed, by taking advantage of their merits in an effort to solve thess controversial problems. In addition, feasibility is presented in developing composite Double T-Beams by introducing pre-stressing forces as well to enhance structural safety.
