Composite beams-and-slabs1
1. COMPOSITE BEAMS AND SLABS
Introduction
The term composite can be used of any structural medium in which two or more materials
interact to provide the required strength and stiffness. In steelwork construction, the term
refers to cross-section which combine steel section with concrete in such a way that the two
act together as one unit. Examples are shown below.
In situ concrete in situ concrete precastunit
Headed stud connector
The performance of composite beams is similar to that of reinforced concrete (rc) beams, but
there are two main differences.
Firstly, the steel section has a significant depth and its second moment of area may not be
ignored, unlike that of steel bar reinforcement.
Secondly, the concrete to reinforcement bond which essentially for rc action is absent, in
composite beams generally must be provided by shear connection.
Design method for composite beams therefore follows those methods for rc with modification
as indicated. Due to the presence of the concrete slab, problems of steel compression flange
instability and local bucking of the steel members are not usually relevant in simply
supported member except doing erection.
Recommendations for design in composite constructions are not included in part 1 of BS
5950 but are included in part 3 and 4 of BS 5950.
Advantages of Composite Beam (CB) Construction
The advantages of CB over normal steelwork beams are
1. The increased moment capacity and
2. Stiffness, or alternatively the reduced steel sizes for the same moment capacity.
Disadvantages of CB
The disadvantage of composite construction is the need to provide shear connectors to ensure
interaction of the parts.
2. The following are considered when dealing with composite structures
a) Shear and moment capacity
Essentially composite beams are T- beams with wide concrete flanges. Effective breadth
(bs) may be taken as one- fifth of the span for simply supported. While continuous and
cantilever beams they are treated separately (see BS 5950 part 3).
Shear capacity is based on the resistance of the web of the steel section alone.
Pv = 0.6Py Av
Moment capacity (Mc) is based on the assumed ultimate steel conditions as shown in Figs 1

Shear Connectors
There are various forms of it but the preferred type is the headed stud.
Shear connectors must perform the primary function of:
a) Transferring of shear at the steal /concrete interface (equivalent to bond), hence
controlling slip between the two parts.
b) Secondly, carries the tensile force between the parts, hence controlling separation.
The performance of all shear connectors is affected by
a) Lateral restraint of the surrounding concrete
b) Presence of tension in the concrete, and
c) Type of concrete used (normal or light weight)
Shear force (𝑃𝑐) =
𝐹𝑐
𝑁𝑠𝑐
Where, 𝐹𝑐= 0.4𝐹𝑐𝑢 𝑏𝑠 𝑋 𝑝 (where NA is in concrete)
𝐹𝑐= 0.4𝐹𝑐𝑢 𝑏𝑠 𝑑 𝑐 (where NA is in steel)
And Nsc = No of studs required

Local shear in Concrete
The total shear connection depends on
a) The shear connector itself and
b) The ability of the surrounding concrete to transmit the shear stresses.
Therefore, longitudinal shear failure is possible as such transverse reinforcement must be
provided with strength greater than the applied shear per unit length (q):
q≯ 0.15 𝐿 𝑠 𝑓𝑐𝑢
And q≯ 0.9𝐿 𝑠 + 0.7𝐴 𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑦
Where, 𝐴 𝑒 is either (𝐴 𝑟𝑡+𝐴 𝑟𝑏) or 2 𝐴 𝑟𝑏 depending on the shear path
𝑃𝑟𝑦 = the design strength of the reinforcement
𝑓𝑐𝑢 = the concrete cube strength
𝐿 𝑠 is either (2 (connector width + stud height))
Or 2(slab depth)
Deflection
As in steel beam design, defection ought to be checked for at the serviceability limit state
(un- factored loads)
The values of Neutral Axis (NA) depth (𝑋 𝑒) and the Equivalent Second Moment area
(𝐼𝑏𝑐) allows defection to be calculated using normal elastic formulae with a value of
𝐸𝑠 = 205 KN/mm2.

Load computation
Dead load due to slab = 𝛾𝑐 (dc) = 4.76 KN/m2
Dead load due to screed= 𝛾𝑠(𝑡𝑠) = 0.88 KN/m 2
Total (gk) = 5.64KN/m2

On = gk(A) =101.5KN
7. Imposed load (𝑤𝑖)

A) Design Aspect
Assume 𝑝 𝑦 = 275 N/mm2 (Table 6)
∴ 𝑍 𝑥 =
𝑀 𝑥
𝑃 𝑦
= 3858 cm3
But 𝑍 𝑥 should be reduced by 59%
∴ 𝑍 𝑥 = 1582cm3
Use 457 x 191 x 82 Kg/m UB (𝑍𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 = 1612 cm3)
Other parameters are:
𝐴 𝑏= 104.5cm2; D= 460.2mm; t = 9.9mm and T= 16mm
Check the following
a) Shear capacity (𝑃𝑣 ) = 0.6𝑃𝑦 𝐴 𝑣= 752 KN
But

b) Moment capacity (𝑀𝑐 )
Assume that 𝑋 𝑝 is within the concrete slab as shown

B) Shear connectors
Force in the concrete @ Mid –span (𝐹𝑐 ) = 0.4𝑓𝑐𝑢 𝑏𝑠 𝑋 𝑝 = 2880KN
But Shear strength (𝑃 𝑘)= 126 KN (given).
No of studs required (𝑁𝑠𝑐) =
𝐹𝑐
𝑃𝑐

But the connector force (𝑃𝑐) ≯ 0.75𝑃 𝑘 = 94.5KN
The studs are to be evenly distributed in each half span
Spacing =

𝑁𝑠𝑐

Shear per unit length (q) =

𝐿
2⁄
= 576N/mm
But q≯ 0.15 𝐿 𝑠 𝑓𝑐𝑢
And q≯ 0.9𝐿 𝑠 + 0.7𝐴 𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑦
But (Ls) = 380mm (given)
0.15 𝐿 𝑠 𝑓𝑐𝑢 = 1710N/mm
And
0.9𝐿 𝑠 + 0.7𝐴 𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑦 = 600N/mm
∴ Shear connector is adequate
C) Defection
Use the un-factored imposed load (W) =210KN
But r =
𝐴 𝑏
𝑏 𝑠 𝑑 𝑐

M = 13.2 (given)
𝐶𝑎𝑙𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑁𝐴 (𝑋 𝑒 ) = (

∴ Use the transformed formula to obtain moment of inertia(𝐼𝑏𝑐)
𝐼𝑏𝑐 = 𝐴 𝑏 (D + 𝑑 𝑐) 2 / 4 (1 + mr) +
𝑏 𝑠 𝑑 𝑐

12𝑚

∴ The actual deflection is given by the formula (ℓ) =

9. But max defection = 𝐿
360⁄ = 27.7mm
∴ Deflection is adequate
The section chosen is adequate to sustain the loads.
