Typically, provided by headed shear studs. INSERT INFORMATION: STRENGTH OF FULLY COMPOSITE BEAM SECTION CALCULATIONS Handout on Calculations: Full圜ompositeCalcs.PDF Composite Beam Theoryġ7 Flexural Strength The bare steel section must support the temporary construction loads (before the concrete has set), or the steel beam must be shored until the composite section is effective. In general, strength is controlled by Mp. Local Flange Buckling is minimized by the slab. Lateral Torsional Buckling is prevented by the slab (continuous bracing). Partially Composite: The force transfer between the slab and beam is limited by the connectors. Composite Beam Theoryįully Composite: The strength of either the floor slab in compression or the steel beam in tension is transferred at the interface. Negative Moment It typically is assumed that the concrete carries no tensile forces and reinforcement is minimal, therefore strength is identical to a bare steel section. The strength is determined as the plastic stress distribution on the composite section.
