Flexural effect of flange width variation of ferrocement-cold-formed steel section as a composite beam
Structural Composite beams are known to be economical since the savings in steel can reach up to 50% by weight over non-composite beams. The composite action can be achieved by achieving the shear connection between the beam and the concrete using the shear connectors, however, the composite constru...

Structural Composite beams are known to be economical since the savings in steel can reach up to 50% by weight over non-composite beams. The composite action can be achieved by achieving the shear connection between the beam and the concrete using the shear connectors, however, the composite construction have been well established for hot-rolled steel members and yet to be studied and researched for cold formed steel beams. This paper presents the ability of the cold formed lipped C-channel section to be used as a composite beam with Ferrocement slab. The shear connection is developed by using shear bolts size 12mm diameter which were being tested and proven to create adequate shear connection. Three variations of the ferrocement flange were tested for bending and compared with the bending capacity of the bare coldformed steel beam.
