Flexural Behavior of Composite Beams Under Three Point Loading

In recent days, composite beams have recently undergone increased usage throughout the world, which have been influenced by the improvement of high strength concrete enabling these beams to be considerably economized. Beams are designed to resist the majority of loads. This project presents an experimental study on the flexural behavior of composite beams made of steel channel section with and without lip encased with concrete of size 1300mm x 150mm x 150mm under three point loading. The conventional concrete beams and composite beams were casted, cured for 28days and then subjected to three point loading. In this project, it is exposed to determine the load-deflection behavior, ultimate load and failure pattern of the beam specimens by the experimental program.
