... in this paper. Formulae for the shear sti€ness of cross-bracing of di€erent geometrical arrangements are presented. The sandwich model is introduced for the fullheight buckling analysis. Simple closedform solutions are derived and a design diagram and tables are given for the calculation of the critical load...

..., consisting of a concrete slab attached to a steel beam by a shear connection, are considered. An interaction theor y which takes account of slip is used. The beams are assumed to consist of two elastic materials and the connection between them to have a linear load slip characteristic. The exact solution...
