| Abstract | This paper explores the concept of the optimum span to depth ratio of reusable composite beams with demountable bolted shear connectors so that the beams may be designed most efficiently in terms of their weight and the shear connector distribution along the span. Three patterns of shear connectors were evaluated by a simple pseudo-plastic model and calibrated by finite element modules in terms of their effect on the overall composite beam stiffness in the range of 9 to 15 m span. The optimum span to depth ratio of symmetrical and asymmetrical beams was determined and compared to equivalent beams with welded shear connectors. It was found that the optimum span to depth ratio of uniformly loaded unpropped composite beams with demountable bolted shear connectors may be taken as 22 which allows for a utilisation factor of 0.7 at the ultimate limit state to ensure that plasticity does not occur in the first use cycle. It was found that the effect of asymmetry on the optimum span to depth ratio is small. For propped beams with demountable shear connectors, the optimum span to depth ratio may be increased to 24. |
