Within the scope of my dissertation, a series of laboratory measurements will be carried out. The main objective is to investigate the behaviour of longitudinal shear forces in composite steel and concrete beams with openings in the web. Four specimens will be tested as part of the laboratory measurements. Each specimen consists of a concrete slab and a steel beam with an asymmetric welded cross-section. The concrete part of the beam will be connected to the steel part employing shear connectors. The load will be applied to the beams by a hydraulic press in the form of a four-point bend. Strain gauges will be used to record the measured quantities. A finite element numerical model will be developed to validate the results. Results obtained from experimental tests will be compared with numerical ones. The experiment output will be processed in the form of a scientific article in an impacted journal.
