Applicability of composite structures to sway frames

Objetivo

The missing knowledge on the behaviour of composite structures designed as sway frames e.g. frames capable to resist to horizontal forces without being supported by other structures, leads to the common design practice to use concrete cores or concrete buildings as main structures which give lateral support to composite structures. The proposed research project has the following two objectives; to demonstrate the reliability of stand-alone composite frames and to give design guidance to structural engineers by providing design and detailing rules for composite frames as stand alone structures. The result of this project would significantly help to promote the use of composite structures as mainframe solutions and to avoid concrete core or other solutions where concrete structures are considered as main frames.
