Abstract
Composite columns are increasing being used as the primary gravity load carrying elements in medium to high-rise construction. In an attempt to optimize the steel weight ratio there has been a new construction detail recently proposed, consisting of partially concrete encased steel WWF sections. The weak axis connection will be made to an end plate connecting the flange tips, and thus providing a terminus at the column face. This research examines the behaviour of simple framing connections to the weak axis of the proposed column. A total of 14 tests were conducted, with a variety of connection types and beam sizes. The main test variables included the connection type, the beam size and the size of the test column. Out of concerns for the stability of the columns during construction several tests were performed on the bare steel column to evaluate the influence of the locally introduced connection load on the overall column strength.
