Steel concrete composite structures are recently used as structural members of port structures. Caissons of breakwaters, sea walls, floating piers and immersed tunnels are constructed with open sandwich and sandwich structures. The composite caissons usually have wide footings to cope with soft sea mud or overturn of the caissons. The footings are subjected to large shear force due to waves or earthquakes. The authors investigated the effect of stirrups for shear reinforcement of the composite footings. Uniformly distributed load was applied to the model of the footings. The shear capacities of the models were 1.45 to 1.89 times as large as the predicted values by the formula in the standard specification which is based on tests of concentration loading. Stirrups of 0.20% of cross sectional area ratio were effective for the footings which length-height ratio were 3 to 5. The authors also studied the torsional properties of composite panel members. Torsion occurs when a floating body is towed in waves or a caisson is settled on uneven ground. Open sandwich and RC specimens with various reinforcement ratios and a sandwich specimen were tested for torsion. Initial torsional rigidities of the open sandwich panels were 1.6 times as large as those of the RC panels, hit the torsional cracking moments of the both panels were almost the same. Torsional rigidities of the panels rapidly decreased after cracking. Steel bars yielded and then concrete crushed in all the specimens. Steel plates and studs did not yield. The yield torsional moments depended on the areas of steel bars. Yield torsional moment of the sandwich specimen was predicted conservatively by simple summation of the torsional capacities of the steel plates and the inner concrete.
