Summary: | In view of the characteristics of a high floor and the heavy load of logistics buildings, a partially prefabricated partially encased assembled composite beam (PPEC) is proposed in order to achieve the low cost construction of such buildings. In this research, the mechanical properties of PPEC beams were studied experimentally. The effects of the concrete strength grade, steel content, shear span ratio, and fabrication methods on the mechanical properties of the PPEC beams were analyzed. The results showed that the proposed structural form of the PPEC beams was generally feasible. Based on the test results, a practical shear formula for PPEC beams was proposed, and the calculated results were in good agreement with the test results. |
