A NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE RESISTANCE AND STIFFNESS OF THE ALUMINIUM AND CONCRETE COMPOSITE BEAM

Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 15

Abstract

In this paper a numerical analysis of the resistance and stiffness of the aluminium and concrete composite beam is presented. Composite aluminium and concrete structures are quite new and they have not been thoroughly tested. Composite structures have a lot of advantages. The composite aluminium and concrete beam is more corrosion-resistant, fire-resistant and stiff than the aluminium beam. The contemporary idea of sustainable buildings relies on new solutions which are more environmentally friendly. Aluminium is lighter and more resistant to corrosion than steel, which is often used in composite structures.
