2. Problem1(calculation of moment capacity)
K
E= modulus of elasticity of
steel 29000 Ksi
If Case 2: a > t slab then
Distance from PNA to
top of flange
4. Solution (position PNA)
Case 1: a < t slab so PNA in slab
Case 2: a > t slab so PNA in steel beam
If C>T PNA in steel flange
If C<T PNA in steel beam web
7. • Beams 10 ft on center with 36 ft simple spans are to be selected to support a 4-in deep
lightweight concrete slab on a 3-in-deep formed steel deck with no shoring.
• The ribs for the steel deck, which are perpendicular to the beam center lines have average
widths of 6 in.
• The service dead load(including the beam weight) is 0,78 k/ft of length of the beams and the
service live load is 1.2 k/ft.
Fy=50Ksi, f’c=3Ksi
Problem 2 (beam design)
8. Solution
1. beam selection (y1,y2,Mu)
If a <t slab (Case 1)
Assume Y1:Distance from PNA to top of flange = 0
Y2: distance from centroid of effective concrete area to top of flange
Y2: Yconcrete - a/2
9. • Y1:Distance from PNA to top of flange = 0
• Y2: distance from centroid of effective
concrete area to top of flange = 6in
• Mu=463.3 k.ft LRFD
• Ma = 320 k.ft ASD
• Try Shape: W16*31
• Mn = 478 k.ft
Solution
1. beam selection
10. • Y1:Distance from PNA to top of flange = 0
• Y2: distance from centroid of effective
concrete area to top of flange = 6in
• Mu=463.3 k.ft LRFD
• Ma = 320 k.ft ASD
• Try Shape: W16*31
• Mn = 478 k.ft
Solution
1. beam selection
14. Solution
3.Design of shear connectors
Given:
• Light weight concrete
• Fc’ = 3ksi
• Ribs of steel deck are perpendicular
to the beam center
• Stud diameter = ¾ in2
15. Solution
4. Check strength of W section before concrete hardens: øMn>Mu
= γ * t * tributary length
Beams 10 ft on center with 36 ft simple spans.
The ribs average widths of 6 in.
DEAD LOADS:
1. Deck weight (2psf)
2. Beam weight(31lb/ft)
LIVE LOADS
1. Slab weight
2. Rib weight
3. Construction live load(20psf)
