Abstract: In this work present that quite comparable deflection result analysis in composite beam (while beam is statically and dynamically loaded) using analytically and by 2-D ABAQUS software. Composite Structures are widely used due to its strength and stiffness to weight ratio. In this work Classical Beam Theory and Shear Deformation Theory is considered for studying the deflection of a composite beam. The composite is a sandwich type reinforced concrete beam. The deflection of the composite beam is calculated analytically. The result is also compared using the 2D ABAQUS Finite Element software. The results are quite comparable. In this project the result for natural frequency and their shapes are also given.
