    Composite Construction System

    Composite materials are made from two or more constituent materials that produce unique properties different from the individual components. Common composite materials include reinforced concrete, composite wood, reinforced plastics, ceramic matrix composites, and metal matrix composites. Composite construction combines steel and reinforced concrete elements to maximize their strengths, producing a structure that is stiffer, lighter, and less expensive compared to traditional materials. Shear connectors bond the steel and concrete, allowing them to work together to reduce deflection under load.

    COMPOSITE

    CONSTRUCTION METHOD
    What is a Composite material?

    • Is a material made from two or more constituent materials with


    significantly different physical or chemical properties that, when
    combined, produce a material with characteristics different from the
    individual components.

    • The result of combining this two different materials together is a


    material which is stronger, lighter, or less expensive when compared to
    traditional materials.
    Examples of Typical Engineered Composite
    Materials include:

    • Reinforced concrete
    • Composite wood
    • Reinforced plastics
    • Ceramic matrix composites
    • Metal matrix composites
    Examples of Typical Engineered Composite Materials

    1. Reinforced concrete

    Concrete in which steel is


    embedded in such a manner that the two
    materials act together in resisting forces.
    The reinforcing steel—rods, bars, or mesh—
    absorbs the tensile shear, and sometimes
    the compressive stresses in a concrete
    structure.
    Examples of Typical Engineered Composite Materials

    2. Composite wood

    Is a mixture of several components that


    may include wood, plastic and straw.
    The particles and fibers from different
    woods are combined, and adhesives
    keep them bound together.

    Example: Plywood
    Examples of Typical Engineered Composite Materials

    3. Reinforced plastics

    A composite material made of a polymer


    matrix reinforced with fibres. The fibres are
    usually glass (in fibreglass), carbon (in carbon
    fiber reinforced polymer), aramid, or basalt.

    Example:

    fibre-reinforced polymer or fiberglass


    Examples of Typical Engineered Composite Materials

    4. Ceramic matrix composites (composite


    ceramic)

    They consist of ceramic fibers embedded in


    a ceramic matrix. Both the matrix and the
    fibers can consist of any ceramic material,
    whereby carbon and carbon fibers can also
    be considered a ceramic material.
    Examples of Typical Engineered Composite Materials

    5. Metal matrix composites

    composite material with at least two


    constituent parts, one being a metal
    necessarily, the other material may be a
    different metal or another material,
    such as a ceramic or organic compound.

    What are the Advantages of Composite
    Materials?
    • Weight saving is one of the main reasons for using composite materials rather than
    conventional materials for components. While composites are lighter they can also
    be stronger than other materials, for example, reinforced carbon-fibre can be up
    to five times stronger than 1020 grade steel and only one fifth of the weight,
    making it perfect for structural purposes.

    • Another advantage of using a composite over a conventional type of material is


    the thermal and chemical resistance as well as the electrical insulation properties.
    Unlike conventional materials, composites can have multiple properties not often
    found in a single material.
    COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION
    What is a Composite Construction?

    • Composite construction provides a method of using two materials


    together so as to utilize each material to its best advantage.
    • Is a modern building method that is based in the combination of
    steel cross sections and reinforced concrete elements and is
    aimed at the maximum possible utilization of their properties to
    the benefit of the structure.
    Composite Structural Elements in a Building:

    1.Composite Column
    2.Composite Beam and girder
    3.Composite Slab
    4.Shear Connectors

    Composite Metal Decking:

    • Composite decking works together with the concrete fill to make a tiff,
    light-weight, economical floor system

    • Decking with deformed ribs (or embossed decking), as shown, is commonly


    used
    • The deformations on the ribs allow for a stronger bond between the
    concrete and the decking
    Installation of Decking

    • Metal decking is placed on the structural steel at


    predetermined points in the erection sequence

    • Metal decking may be installed by the steel erection


    contractor or a separate decking contractor

    • As an alternative to welding, powder actuated tools may


    be used to attach metal decking to structural steel
    • Powder actuated tools use the expanding gases from a
    powder load, or booster, to drive a fastener

    • A nail-like fastener is driven through the metal deck into


    the steel beam

    • The powder actuated tool, powder load, and fastener


    must be matched to the thickness of the structural steel
    beam flanges
    Shear Connectors:

    • Shear connectors create a strong bond


    between the steel beam and the
    concrete floor slab which is poured on
    top of the metal decking

    • This bond allows the concrete slab to


    work with the steel beams to reduce
    live load deflection
    Installation of Shear Connectors

    •The electrical arc process is commonly


    used for stud welding
    ▪An arc is drawn between the stud and
    the base metal
    ▪The stud is plunged into the molten
    steel which is contained by the
    ceramic ferrule Ferrule- is any of a number of
    types of objects, generally used
    ▪The metal solidifies and the weld is for fastening, joining, sealing,
    complete or reinforcement. They are
    •The ferrules are removed before the often narrow circular rings
    concrete is poured made from metal, or less
    commonly, plastic.
    Installation of Concrete

    •Concrete is installed by a
    concrete contractor on top of the
    composite metal decking, shear
    connectors, and welded wire
    fabric or rebar grid (crack control
    reinforcement)

    •Pumping is a typical installation


    method for concrete being placed
    on metal decking
    The Principle of Composite Action:

    • Concrete is good in compression and steel is good in tension. By joining the


    twomaterials together structurally these strengths can be exploited to result in a
    highly efficient and lightweight design.

    • The reduced self weight of composite elements has a knock-on effect by reducing the
    forces in those elements supporting them, including the foundations. Composite
    systems also offer benefits in terms of speed of construction. The floor depth
    reductions that can be achieved using composite construction can also provide
    significant benefits in terms of the costs of services and the building envelope.
    Advantages of Composite Construction:

    1. The concrete acts together with the steel to create a stiffer, lighter, less expensive
    structure.
    2. Speed and simplicity of construction- faster to erect, nearly 25% faster then traditional
    construction.
    3. Lighter construction than a traditional concrete building.
    4. Less material handling at site.
    5. Has better ductility and hence superior lateral load behaviour; better earthquake
    resister.
    6. Ability to cover large column free area in buildings and longer span for bridges/flyovers.
    Disadvantages of Composite Construction:

    1. Provide misleading messages about quality if poorly constructed or


    misinterpreted.
    2. Lead to simplistic policy conclusions.
    3. Can be misused, if the construction process is not transparent and lacks
    sound statistical or conceptual principles.
    4. Selection of metrics and weights can be challenged by other stakeholders
