Elastic-plastic finite element modeling of long span composite joists with incomplete interaction
This thesis presents elastic-plastic finite element analyses of seven long span composite open-web steel joists. These analyses account for the incomplete interaction between the concrete slab and the steel joist by modeling the nonlinear behavior of the steel shear connectors. Experimental tests o...
