VILNIUS TECH Library invites you to follow the published new dissertations. The dissertation „Behaviour analysis of the joint between a steel-concrete composite column and a steel beam“ („Plienbetonio kompozitinės kolonos ir plieninės sijos mazgo elgsenos analizė“) prepared by VILNIUS TECH, Andrej Mudrov. The dissertation was prepared in 2016–2022, supervisor – Prof. Dr Antanas Šapalas.
The dissertation was defended at the public meeting of the Dissertation Defence Council of Civil Engineering in the Senate Hall of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University at 10 a. m. on 29 August 2022.
„This dissertation analyses the bolted connection with the curved end plates between a steel-concrete composite column and a steel beam. Such a connection may represent a valuable solution to the lack of economical connections, which could be adapted to the circular shape of the column while eliminating on-site welding. Moreover, such a connection opens the possibility of using bolts with extensions that could be properly anchored within the concrete-filled steel tubes, increasing the strength and stiffness of such joints. Thus, a more optimal design of columns could be offered as the connection’s strength would be less dependent on the column tube’s thickness. Nevertheless, the implementation of such connections is vain due to the absence of analytical models. Hence, this thesis aims to study the behaviour of bolted connection between a circular steel-concrete composite column and a steel beam, and with the account of that, propose an analytical model of a curved T-stub in tension.“
