Notes and subtopics

 Very brief introduction about the composite structures - pros and cons
 Construction stages and actions
 Design resistance of sheeting
o Bending resistance
o Shear resistance (EN1993-1-3)
 Design resistance of steel beams
 Composite beam design verification
o Effective width
o Shear connection
o Plastic resistance of composite cross section
o Longitudinal shear
o Deflection calculations
o Crack widths
 Composite slab design verification
o Slab thickness
o Reinforcement
o Minimum sheet thickness
o Composite slab bearing requirements
o Construction stage -> moment and shear design
o Composite stage -> bending and shear verification + longitudinal shear
o Cracking
o Span/depth ratios
o Deflection calculations - construction stage
o Deflection calculations - composite stage
 Deflections limits
 Fire design

Note:

Develop an Excel file for typical checks (studs, beam, slab). Check with Bogdan what has been developed for NHB.
Confirm with Ivan before starting.

? Do we know any software for composite design ? RFEM doesn’t work.
