Technical Note
Output Details
This Technical Note describes the composite beam output for AISC-ASD89 that can be printed to a printer or to a text file in either short form or long form. The program provides the output data in a series of tables. The column headings for output data and a description of what is included in the columns of the tables are provided in Table 1 of this Technical Note.

Moment Design
This table of output data reports the controlling moments for both construction loads and final loads. Pmax The largest axial load in the beam for any design load combination. Important note: This value is not used in the Composite Beam Design postprocessor design. It is reported to give you a sense of how much axial load, if any, is in the beam. If there is a significant amount of axial load in the beam, you may want to design it noncompositely using the Steel Frame Design postprocessor. The Steel Frame Design postprocessor does consider axial load. Pmax Combo Type The design load combination associated with Pmax. This item is either Constr Pos, Constr Neg, Final Pos or Final Neg. Const Pos means it is a positive moment for construction loading. Const Neg means it is a negative moment for construction loading. Final Pos means it is a positive moment for final loading. Final Neg means it is a negative moment for final loading. Design load combination that causes the controlling moment for the moment type considered in the table row. The critical location over the height of the beam section for bending stress. Possible values for this are: ConcLeft: The top of the concrete slab on the left side of the beam.

Shear Design
This table of output data reports the controlling shears for both construction loads and final loads. Type This item is either Constr Left, Constr Right, Constr Worst, Final Left or Final Right. Constr Left means it is a construction loading shear at the left end of the beam. Constr Right means it is a construction loading shear at the right end of the beam. Constr Worst means it is a construction loading shear somewhere in the middle of the beam and it is the worst-case shear.

Deflection Design
This table of output data reports the controlling deflections for both live load and total load. Type Consider This item is either Live Load or Total Load. This item is always Yes, indicating that deflection is one of the criteria checked when determining if a beam section is considered acceptable. Design load combination that causes the controlling deflection for the deflection type considered in the table row. The controlling deflection for the deflection type considered in the table row. Note: Deflection is described in Technical Note Beam Deflection and Camber Composite Beam Design. Limit The deflection limit for the deflection type considered in the table row. This is the controlling deflection divided by the deflection limit.
