- Deep box-type beams, consisting of framing members and sheathings, are sensitive to shear deformations andhence appropriate refined theories or complicated magnification factors are needed to be used to obtain accurate results. For sheathings or webs between the framing members that are weak in shear, additional shear deformations occur corresponding to the relative axial displacement between the framing members. These sandwich-type or partial interaction-type of in-plane shear behaviour between the framing members, needs to betaken into account, especially when the web shear stiffness is very low. The composite box-type beam treatedhere is composed of three framing members with sheathings on both sides. To incorporate effects of the sheathings shear deformations between the framing members on the deflection, the sheathings, here called web interlayers, are modelled as shear media with equivalent slip moduli corresponding to a partially interacting composite beam model. Governing equilibrium equations of the model are obtained using the minimum total potential energy principle and solved explicitly. The obtained results are compared with those based on different conventional beam theories and 3-D finite element (FE) simulations. It is shown that the model is capable of predicting accurately the deflection for a wide range of geometry and property parameters. It is demonstrated that the deflection of such deep box-type beams can be expressed as the summation of three different effects, namely bending deformations, conventional shear deformations in the framing members and sheathings, and additional in-plane shear deformations or shear slips of the weak web causing relative axial displacements between the framing members.

- Buckling loads of partial composite columns under distributed axial loads is investigated in this paper for the first time. The interlayer interaction corresponding to the level of interfacial bonding imperfection in the layered heavy composite columns is formulated in the model by a shear slip/stiffness modulus. Governing differential equations and boundary equations are derived and represented in a general dimensionless form. A semi-analytical solution is applied to the governing buckling equations of the presented model using power-series technique to extract critical loads of partial composite columns. Five different classical end types are considered namely clamped–clamped (C-C), clamped-pinned (C-P), clamped-sliding (C-S), clamped-free (C-F) and pinned–pinned (P-P). Also, for two extreme cases of non-composite/zero-interaction and full-composite/perfectly-bonded layered columns, exact closed-form characteristic buckling equations are introduced. A convergence study is conducted to ensure stability of the applied power-series solution. It is demonstrated that the obtained buckling loads for partial composite columns with different end conditions approach those obtained from the exact closed-from solution for the full-composite extreme case when the interfacial shear modulus approaches infinity. Effect of imperfect bonding between the column layers and slip on critical buckling loads is investigated. It is shown that a more realistic model based on the partial composite interaction hypothesis predicts critical loads that are less than those based on idealized composite columns with perfect interfacial bonding.

- This paper is focused on the effect of imperfect bonding and partial composite interaction between the sub-elements of a box-type column on the critical buckling loads. The box column is modelled as a symmetric three-layer composite structure with interlayer slips at the interfaces, based on the Engesser–Timoshenko theory with uniform shear deformation assumptions. Linear shear springs or slip modulus is considered at the interfaces to model the partial interaction between the sub-elements of the structure. The minimum total potential energy principle is utilized to obtain governing equations and boundary conditions. A direct analytical solution of the original governing equations is presented for obtaining exact buckling characteristic equation of the three-layer partial composite column with different end conditions including clamped-pinned end conditions. Also, the coupled equations are recast into an efficient uncoupled form and shown that there is a strong similarity with those for the two layer element. It is shown that the obtained formulae are converted to the known Euler column formulae when the slip modulus approaches infinity (i.e. perfect bonding) and no shear deformations in the sub-elements are considered. A differential shear Engesser–Timoshenko partial composite model is also employed and critical buckling loads, obtained from an inverse solution method, are compared to examine the validity and accuracy level of the uniform shear model. Comprehensive dimensionless numerical results are presented and discussed.
