A critical review on study of encased checkered steel plate and aramid fibre composite beams

The composite beam is a structural component that made by two or more independent elements that are joined or connected together to form a structural unit. The composite beam consists of steel-wood, wood-concrete or with composite composites. A checkered steel plate also known as a reticulated steel plate, is a metal plate with a convex or concave pattern on top. Fiber reinforced polymer composite beams usually consist of carbon, glass, aramid, basalt and other fibers such as paper, wood, or asbestos. The checkered steel encased beam usually consists of U-shaped or C-shaped form. Aramid fiber is a man-made polymer that is produced by spinning solid fiber from a mixture of liquid chemicals. The fibres have good impact resistance, and low modulus grade are widely used in ballistic systems. The primary advantages are better resistance towards chemical activities, improved fire resistance. It is also found that they have better physical qualities than glass fibres. In this parametric study, different angles of checkered steel encased beams including 90°, 80°, 70°, and 60° is considered and analyzed by the experimental process. The numerical comparative study including checkered steel-encased beams with aramid fiber reinforced polymer encased concrete (AFRP) using ANSYS software are discussed depending on the various critical reviews available for the studies.
