Analysis of the Shear Resistance in the Indented Interface Between Two Concrete Parts of Concrete Composite Beam

This paper presents a comparative analysis of shear resistance in the interface between two concrete parts of concrete composite beam. The construction joint was performed as indented one in accordance with Eurocode 2 and fib Model Code 2010. The numerical calculation results were confronted with the actual results of tests of a composite beam subjected to 4-point bending. The displacement values of tested element were obtained using dial sensors and the digital image correlation method (DIC). The analysis shows that the recommendations of Eurocode 2-1-1 and fib Model Code 2010 do not reflect the actual behavior of concrete composite beam with indented surface.
