Composite structures are structures which are constructed with the combination of two or more materials, each of which retains its own distintive properties. The resulting materials has characteristics that are not characteristic of the components in isolation.
The most frequently used combination of construction materials is steel and concrete. These different materials are completely compatible and complementary to each other; they have almost the same thermal expansion. They have an ideal combination of strengths with the concrete efficient in compression and the steel in tension.
The different members of composite constructions are 1) Composite columns 2) Composite girder (beams) and compos0ite slabs. A large column free spaces in buildings can be achieved due to the composite construction, using small sections of rolled steel composite beams , profiled metal decking and/or prefabricated composite members.
In this video we will see the detailed construction of the different components of the composite structure.
