The Concrete Effective Width of a Composite I Girder with Numerous Contact Points as Shear Connectors

Due to the shear strain in the plane of the slab, the parts of the slab remote from the steel beam lag behind the part of the slab located in its proximity. This shear lag effect causes a non-uniform stress distribution across the width of the slab. As a result, several standards have introduced the...
