In four point bending test, when loading a simply supported A36 steel beam to failure, where shear is very low and buckling is prevented, how much the ultimate bending moment is expected to diverge from the theoretical value: M=Fy.Z ?
Please, if any references for more readings are available...
Hi,
In the real world, steel shear studs are welded to the steel section surface. In ABAQUS, I represented the steel section (I-section) as follow:
Upper flange (shell element)
Lower flange (shell element)
Web (shell element)
merged the above parts to form the I-section
Stud (beam element)
ALL...
