| Abstract: | The paper presents the results of experimental tests with a numerical comparison of some typical composite element systems. Two different kinds of elements were tested: composite steel‐concrete and composite wood‐concrete elements. Deflections at midspan under monotonously increasing static load on simply supported beams were measured. The affects of different types of composite connections on the results were researched. In numerical tests the structure was modeled with two‐dimensional plane elements. The composite surface was modeled with two‐dimensional contact (interface) elements for the continuous connection simulation and modified beam elements for the discrete connection simulation. The applied material models include the most important nonlinear effects of concrete, steel and wood behavior, as well as the nonlinear behavior of the composite surface at the connection. The achieved results of the developed numerical model were compared with the results obtained through the experimental test. |
