THE UNIVERSAL SUPERPOSITION METHOD FOR CALCULATING BENDING STRENGTH OF CONCRETE ENCASED COMPOSITE BEAM Li Shaoquan and Sha Zhenping Department of Civil Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen, P. R. China ABSTRACT Based on the lower limit principle of plastic theory, the axial force can be arbitrarily given to the steel and the reinforced concrete according to balance condition, and the bending strength of relative parts can be calculated. The maximum sum value of bending strength on the steel and the reinforced concrete is the concrete encased composite beam bending strength. In this paper, the formulas of the universal superposition method are derived. As a result, the universal superposition is no longer in need of pilot calculation. It is shown that the results are in good agreement with the accuracy method. The accuracy method is based on the plane section assumption. Therefore, the bending strength of the concrete encased composite beam can be calculated as reinforced concrete beam. Besides, the suggested method is easier than the accuracy method. Keywords: concrete encased composite beam, universal superposition method, bending strength INTRODUCTION In structural engineering, common sections of concrete encased composite beams are shown in Figure 1. Among the bending design approaches developed for concrete encased composite beams, the design provision suggested by the American building specifications and by the Japanese building codes are the two widely employed ones. Based on the plane section assumption, the bending strength of concrete encased composite beam can be calculated as reinforced concrete. This method, referred as the accuracy method in this communication, is used in the American Concrete Institute (ACI
