AU(A plus U-shaped) composite beam was developed for reducing the story height in the residential buildings, and saving the cosrtuction cost of floor structures. Structural performance and economic feasibility of the composite beam have been sufficiently approved through the structural experiments and the analytical studies. Fire safety for the practical application of the composite beam has also been verified through the fire resistance tests and the heat transfer analyses. In this study 2-points bending tests were performed on the four specimens already tested for fire resistance to evaluate the residual bending strength of AU composite beam after fire accident. The same bending test was performed on the one fresh specimen having the same section and span of the specimens for practically comparative study.

The purpose of this experimental study is to evaluate that KCI2012 equation for the development length, ldt, of headed bars can be used to calculate the lap length of headed deformed bars in grade SD400~500 for high strength concrete. Test results showed that specimens with lap lengths equal to 1.3ldt had maximum flexural strengths as 0.84~0.90 times as the nominal flexural strengths. These observations indicate that 1.3 is unsuitable to the tensile lap length of headed deformed bars in grade SD400~500 for high strength concrete.
