Description
Summary:In the modern world, composite construction is widely used due to its exceptional properties in reducing the structure's weight and carrying load. This paper reviews some researchers' earlier investigations in the past two decades. To understand the behavior of composite beams, the effect of various load applications, and the beam behavior’s response to changes of shear connector type and some types of concrete and materials such as Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) and display some methods for strengthening the beam. Monotonic and dynamic loads were considered based on experimental, numerical in addition to experimental and numerical studies together carried out by the researchers, as well as statistical data collected and analyzed. The results obtained based on the reviewed articles are that the use of an angle shear connector reduces the ultimate strength by 4.12% for single angle connectors compared to headed stud connectors, pultrude Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer GFRP composite beam has approximately 50% higher ultimate capacity and less weight compared to an equivalent RC beam, stiffeners are an effective method to strengthen the composite beam against different load circumstances. Statistics revealed that the interconnection ratio is an important factor for the composite beam behavior.
