Abstract

In the present paper, the 2D finite element (FE) model presented and validated in the companion paper “Two-dimensional FE model for evaluation of composite beams, I: Formulation and Validation” is used to undertake a parametric study focused on both the required and available rotations and the moment redistribution capacity of semi-continuous composite beams. The investigation has shown that some tendencies already established in the literature regarding beams with full shear connection are not applicable to cases with partial shear connection.
