SECTION is a general cross section program for calculation of section properties (see
section CB-8:Appendix A)
The steel cross section has a shape as shown in the figure below.

1. ¼*24=6m
2. 12*0.23+0.5*0.325=2.92
3. 1.41+2.25=3.66
This means that the effective width is 2.92m.
For this exampe, the effective width is reduced to 2.0 m for the strength loadcase. This gives
the plastic neutral axis in the web.
The capacity for the section is based on the plastic moment capacity. This can be calculated
according to AASHTO ch 6.10.5.1.3.The forces in the longitudinal reinforcement is
conservatively neglected.
For calculating deflection for the Service loadcase and fatigue stresses, the concrete width is
reduced with a factor of n according to AASHTO ch 6.10.5.1.1.b. This represents the short
term composite section. With n=10 for concrete with fc'=20, this gives a concrete effective
width of:

Following cross section values have been calculated by the PC-program SECTION, ref
section CB-8: Appendix A.
Moment:
The beam shall carry the dead load from the steel beam, the concrete slab and the wearing
surface. Even if the wearing surface not is applied, this load is also representing the deck
form load during the construction stage.

This gives

Î
Lb<= 1.76*73.85*Sqr(2E5/345) = 3129 mm
If 2*Dc/tw<=λb*Sqr(E/Fyc)
then
Mn=3.14*E*Cb*Rh*(Iyc/Lb)*Sqr(0.772*(J/Iyc)+9.87*(d/Lb)2)
Dc<=4.64*15/2*Sqr(2E5/345)= 838
With the acual moment of 3492 kNm , the capacity of the beam is fulfilled.
Operating stage
After the concrete has hardened, the member has a composite cross section as shown in the
figure below.
2000

First the section is controlled if it’s a compact according to AASHTO ch 6.10.5.2 or non-
compact section according to AASHTO ch 6.10.5.3.
2*Dcp/tw<=3.76*Sqr(E/Fyc)
Dcp =D/2*((Fyt*At-Fyc*Ac-0.85*fc’*As-Fyr*Ar)/(Fyw*Aw) + 1)
With
Fyt=Fyc=Fyw=345
Ar = 0
At = 400*35=14000

Aw=15*1345=20175
fc’=20
As = 2000*230=460000
D = 1345
Dcp= 167
This means that the member fulfills the requirement for a compact section.
Since the concrete supports the compression flange, there is no other requirements to the
section.

Actual moment and shearforces are calculated based on following factored loads:
Uniform load

Point loads
P2 P1 P1
4300 a = 4300-9000
P1 =1.75*1.33*188=438 kN
P2 =1.75*1.33*45=105 kN
To get max moment and shear at support points, a shall be 4.3m, i.e. the pointloads shall be
as close as possible.
In Section CB-9: Appendix B, the simple beam model has been run to calculate max
moments and shear forces.
Two controls are done, one at the support and one in the midspan.
Support
Midspan:
SERVICE - I
Camber
The steel-beams shall be fabricated with a camber so the beams in principle not have any
deflection without traffic load. The camber is calculated based on that the steel section
carries the deadload before the concrete has hardened. This means that the moment of inertia
for this section can be calculated to:
The beam is a simply supported beam with a span of 24m. This gives a deflection of
D=5ql4/(384EI)= 5*38.8*240004/(384*2E5*1.207E10) = 69 mm
Deflection by traffic
This loadcase is covered by the SERVICE I loadcombination according to Section 3.3. The
deflection limit is l/500 (Section 2.5).
The member section in this case is a composite section according the figure below.
2910

25 theor. clearance
The concrete area can be transferred to an equivalent steel area by reducing the width with a
factor of 10 accounting for a short term composite section. This means that the moment of
inertia and shear area i vertical direction for this section can be calculated to:
Ix = 3.572E10 mm4
Ref also section CB-8 Appendix A for cross section calculations with the PC-program
SECTION.
Since STAAD takes into account shear deformations, also the shear area is required. This is
calculated only from the steel beam.

P2 =1.33*45 = 60 kN
In Section CB-9: Appendix B, the simple beam model has been run to calculate max
deflection.
Max deflection is calculated to 29.2 mm. This means a deflection ration of 24000/29.2 Î

Flexure
Calculated Dcp from the construction stage (prior ro composite section) is Dcp= 923 mm.
After the concrete has hardened the composite section results in a Dcp of much less than
923mm. This menas that the allowable elastic flexural stress in the compression flange fcf is:

P = n*Zr*I/(Vsr*Q)
Where
Zr can be calculated as .
Zr = α*d2>=38*d2
With
d = 20 (diameter of stud)
Zr = 47.8*202 = 19.12 kN
Q = 291*230*(1425+230/2-1176.8.)=24.308E6
In Section CB-9: Appendix B, the shear forces are calculated for the beam with following
truckload:
P2 P1 P1
4300 a = 9000
P1 =142 kN
P2 = 34 kN
Vsr = 245 kN

fc’ = 20 Mpa
Ec = 22600 Mpa
Asc = π*202/4=314 mm2
Fu = 400 Mpa (minimum)
Î
Qr = 0.85*105 = 89 kN
The nominal horizontal shear force Vh is then calculated as the minimum of:
Vhc = 0.85*fc’*b*ts

fc’=20 Mpa
b = 2000 mm
bc = 325 mm
bt = 400 mm

D = 1345 mm
Fyw = Fyc = Fyt = 345 Mpa
Vh = 7820 kN
Minimum number of shear connectors (n) between mid point of beam to endsupport is then
n = 7820 / 89 = 87
p = 12000/(87/2) = 275 mm
Bearing stiffeners
The bearing stiffeners are controlled for the strength load combination. This menas that the
maximum reaction force is 1697 kN.
It’s assumed that the bearing stiffners are connected to the bottom flange with a full contact,
thus all vertical force is tranferred by contact between the bottom flange and the bearing
stiffener.
The following calculations follws in principle the requirements from AASHTO ch 6.10.8.2.

E = 2E5 Mpa
Fys = 345 Mpa
tp = 20 mm

The stiffener and the web shall fit to the bottom flange so the vertical force can be
