Composite Beam Design Example
Composite beam design example using 75% partial composite action per AISC 360-22 Chapter I. Determines effective slab width, full composite shear force C, number of shear studs, and flexural strength φMn.
Given Parameters
steel section
steel area and depth
span and beam spacing
concrete slab thickness
concrete properties
3/4" stud strength
factored moment
Calculation Steps
1. Effective Slab Width
2. Full Composite Shear Force C
3. 75% Composite — Number of Studs
4. Concrete Compression Block
5. Design Flexural Strength
