| Abstract | ||
| In this study, a nonlinear three-dimensional finite element analysis has been used to predict the load-deflection behavior of horizontally curved composite beams of concrete slab and I-section steel beam with shear connectors using the analysis system computer program (ANSYS V. 9.0 2004). A comparison is made between the results obtained from the finite element analysis and the available experimental results. The comparison shows good agreement. The maximum difference in ultimate loads was (13.2%). Parametric study was performed to study the influence of several important parameters on the overall behavior of a horizontally curved composite beam. These parameters include the curvature (L/R) of the beam, supports conditions and concrete compressive strength. L/R has significant influence as more and more twisting effects will be introduced | ||
