The program also performs the following check, calculation, or analysis pro-
cedures in accordance with AISC-LRFD93 requirements:
! Checks the width-to-thickness ratios of the beam flanges and web, and, if it
exists, the cover plate as specified for compact and noncompact sections in
AISC-ASD89 Specification Chapter B, Table B5.1; see Width to Thickness
Checks Composite Beam Design AISC-ASD89.
! Calculates elastic stresses for positive bending in the steel section and the
concrete slab when there is partial composite connection; see Elastic
Stresses with Partial Composite Connection Composite Beam Design AISC-
ASD89.
! Checks the bending stress for AISC-ASD89 design for cases with and with-
out composite action; see Bending Stress Checks Composite Beam Design
AISC-ASD89.
! Check the beam and reaction for shear for AISC-ASD89 composite beam
design; see Beam Shear Checks Composite Beam Design AISC-ASD89.
The program also provides input and output data summaries, which are de-
scribed in Technical Notes Input Data Composite Beam Design AISC-ASD89
and Output Details Composite Beam Design AISC-ASD89.
Notation
Abare = Area of steel beam (plus cover plate if one exists), in2. This
area does not include any contribution from the concrete
slab.
Ac = Area of the concrete slab, in2. When the deck span is per-
pendicular to the beam span, this is the area of concrete in
the slab above the metal deck that is above the elastic
neutral axis (ENA) of the fully composite beam. When the
deck span is parallel to the beam span, this is the area of
concrete in the slab, including the concrete in the metal
deck ribs, that is above the ENA of the fully composite
beam. This item may be different on the left and right
sides of the beam.

Ans = Net area along the shear plane of a bolted connection, in2.
Ctop = Cope depth at top of beam, in. This item is internally cal-
culated by the program and it may be different at each end
of the beam. It is used in the shear calculations.

M = Moment, kip-in.
MAll Other = Moment due to all loads except dead load, kip-in.
Mmax station = Maximum moment at any output station for a given design
load combination, kip-in.
MSPR = Maximum shear studs per row across the beam top flange
as specified on the Shear Studs tab in the composite beam
overwrites, unitless.

RLLF = The reduced live load factor for an element, unitless. The
RLLF is multiplied times the unreduced live load to get the
reduced live load.
Sbare = Section modulus of the steel beam alone (plus cover plate,
if it exists) referred to the extreme tension fiber, in3.
St-eff = The section modulus for the partial composite section re-
ferred to the top of the effective transformed section, in3.
This item may be different on the left and the right sides of
the beam.

d = Depth of steel beam from the top of the beam top flange to
the bottom of the beam bottom flange, in.
ftop-st = The maximum stress at the top of the steel beam (may be
tension or compression depending on the location of the
ENA), ksi.

h *r = Height of the metal deck ribs above the elastic neutral axis
(i.e., that is in compression) used for calculating the
transformed section properties, in. Note that this could be
different on the left and right sides of the beam.
If the deck ribs are oriented parallel to the beam span, one
of the following three items applies:
lv = The distance from the center of the top bolt hole to the top
edge of the beam web (at the cope), in. The program as-
sumes this distance to be 1.5 inches as shown in Figure 2
of Technical Note Beam Shear Checks Composite Beam
Design AISC-ASD89.

t = Thickness, in.
t *c = Height of the concrete slab above the metal deck (or solid
slab) that lies above the elastic neutral axis (i.e., is in
compression) that is used for calculating the transformed
section properties, in. Note that this could be different on
the left and right sides of the beam.

wd = Weight per unit area of metal deck, ksi. This item may
be different on the left and right sides of the beam.
wr = Average width of the metal deck ribs, in. This item may
be different on the left and right sides of the beam.
ye = The distance from the ENA of the steel beam (plus cover
plate, if it exists) alone to the ENA of the fully composite
beam, in.
yeff = The distance from the bottom of the beam bottom flange
to the ENA of a partially composite beam, in.
