DESIGN EXAMPLE ON COMPOSITE

Thomas J. McCabe 1
The first page in the Appendix states the given data namely:
spans, loads, and fire rating. The fire rating dictates the minimum
The span and concrete dictate the steel deck size and thickness necessary
to carry the wet concrete and construction loads. Selection of the deck
Below the given data, the section properties for the deck selected
1968 Edition of the American Iron and Steel Institute. The composite
properties of the steel deck and concrete are also given. They were
calculated with cracked section theory using the full steel area of

PSF uniform load or 150 lb. concentrated load on one foot of deck
tions are taken from the A.c.I. Standard 318-71, Part 4. The concen-
trated load moment coefficients are for the load in the center of the
first span. The next two steps check the actual fibre stress in the
deck for the moments calculated. The criteria states that the stresses
shall not exceed those permitted in the AISI specification for the
The next nine steps repeat the preceding procedure to check the
deck stresses at the support, only using the applicable moment co-
the deck using 3.5(a) (2) of the AISI Specification. The subsequent
three steps calculate the maximum actual load per web due to dead
and construction loads. This completes the check of the steel deck
city. The allowable live load is then obtained using the load factors
of 1.7 for live load and 1.4 for dead load. The live load becomes 104
PSF with 28 PSF dead load applied to the slab. The next step checks
the allowable live load for a deflection of £/360 and is 338.5 PSF.
The criteria states that the moment of inertia used shall be the
average of the full composite inertia and the inertia obtained from
cracked section theory. If the neutral axis falls within the deck,
vided equal to 0.001 of the area of concrete above the steel deck.
The last calculations show the allowable live load on the slab
steel stress is determined by deducting the dead load stress from the
minimum yield and multiplying by 0.6. The dead load stress is found

by using the section modulus to the bottom of the steel deck when
the criteria gives lower loads for long spans and higher loads for
the ultimate load varies linearly with the shear span, which is inde-
