Description
This application calculates the horizontal shear and section properties for composite steel beam and concrete slab sections with solid slabs, composite steel decks, or haunches. Computations are made for beams and slabs over a complete usable range of composite action from 25% to 100%.
The user must identify the steel section that is used. The user must also enter the dimensions and section properties of the steel section, the dimensions of the slab section and "haunch", the compressive strength of the concrete, the unit weight of concrete and the yield strength of the steel section.Composite steel beams consisting of rolled structural beams and either solid slabs or slabs of composite steel deck and concrete in-fill are commonly used, especially in office construction. In composite construction the slab and beam are connected together and made to act as one unit by field welding steel shear studs to the beam prior to placing the concrete. Some added economy may be achieved by using the AISC Specifications provisions of Section I1 for partial composite action. These provisions permit the use of fewer studs than required for full composite behavior when the strength and stiffness of a given beam section is adequate with partial composite behavior.

Test for Location of Neutral Axis
This section determines if the neutral axis for the 100% composite section lies within the steel beam, within the haunch or the ribs of the steel deck parallel to the beam span, between the slab and the steel beam, or within the slab.
These conditions are summarized by the following four cases:
Case 1: The neutral axis lies within the steel beam.
Case 2: The neutral axis lies within the haunch or the ribs of the steel deck parallel to the beam span.
Case 3: The neutral axis lies between the slab and the steel beam with the steel deck transverse to the beam.
Case 4: The neutral axis lies within the slab.

Equations and numeric solutions presented in this Mathcad worksheet are applicable to the specific example, boundary condition or case presented in the book. Although a reasonable effort was made to generalize these equations, changing variables such as loads, geometries and spans, materials and other input parameters beyond the intended range may make some equations no longer applicable. Modify the equations as appropriate if your parameters fall outside of the intended range.For this Mathcad worksheet, the global variable defining the beginning index identifier for vectorsand arrays, ORIGIN, is set as specified in the beginning of the worksheet, to either 1 or 0. If ORIGIN is set to 1 and you copy any of the formulae from this worksheet into your own, you need to ensure that your worksheet is using the same ORIGIN.
