Figure 2 (a) shows a 6 m long cantilever concrete beam with a uniformly distributed load of w= 25 kN/m. The beam has a T-section and is bolted to a steel plate (200 x 10 mm) to form a composite section as shown in Figure 2 (b). The modulus of elasticity is 25 GPa for the concrete beam and 200 GPa for the steel plate. The dimensions of the concrete sections are: a= 600, b= 40 and c-700 mm. 200 mm Steel plate (200x10 mm) 10 mm W kN/m concrete Lm (a) Simply supported T-Beam amm (b) Cross-section bmm

Composite Construction

Composite construction is the construction of structures in which two or more materials are used. Regarding structural engineering, composite construction is a construction where two materials are bound together in a technical manner such that both the materials act as a single unit to carry and transfer the load. The motives of composite construction are to increase the structural strength, make structures more aesthetic, and provide a sustainable environment.
