Theoretical calculation of bending capacity of a steel beam - ultra high performance concrete slab composite girder

The composite girder, which combines a steel beam with an ultra-highperformance concrete (UHPC) slab, has gained significant attention in recent years as a new type of bridge structure. However, accurately estimating the bending capacity of such girders remains a challenge, as practical methods are limited. In this article, the authors propose a theoretical approach based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory to determine the bending capacity of composite girders.
