...Naoya Yotsumoto; Takeo Hirashima; Koji Toyoda Purpose This paper aims to investigate the fire performance of composite beams when considering the hogging moment resistance of the fin-plate beam-to-girder joints including the effect of continuity of reinforcements. Design/methodology/approach...

... two calculation models for evaluating the sagging and hogging moment resistance: the “general simplified rules” and the “simplified models” proposed in the Annex F. Findings In this paper, these simplified calculation models were implemented on several partially encased composite beams, by means...
