- This paper presents the results of a 12 m long composite beam, with an asymmetric steel section, tested under uniformly distributed loading. The findings of this paper highlight the conservatism of the current Eurocode 4 design guidelines for this type of beam. The specimen reached its plastic bending resistance and exhibited very ductile behaviour despite the degree of shear connection being considerably lower than the recommended minimum. Only a limited number of large-scale tests have been conducted on steel-concrete of composite beams. The findings will be used in an upcoming revision of Eurocode 4.
