Abstract

To investigate vertical load-bearing capacity of Tee steel PEC beams, test results of two simply supported Tee steel PEC beams under vertical loads are presented. The procedure and method of test was introduced. The carrying capacity and failure mechanism, deformation capacity, mid-span sectional strain distributions were analyzed. The result indicates that the Tee steel PEC beam has good carrying capacity and deformation ability under vertical loads. Tee steel PEC beam specimens with full shear connection exhibit cross sectional strains that meets the flat section assumption. To avoid brittle failure of Tee steel PEC beams, the composite beam should have a larger steel ratio. It is rational that the plastic neutral axis is located in the flange of the concrete plate. Specimens with higher steel ratios have a higher bending strength and stiffness.
