IChapter I Design of composite members

This chapter addresses composite members composed of rolled or built-up structural steel shapes or HSS and structural concrete acting together, and steel beams supporting a reinforced concrete slab so interconnected that the beams and the slab act together to resist bending. Simple and continuous composite beams with steel headed stud anchors, and encased and filled beams, constructed with or without temporary shores, are included. This chapter also addresses concrete filled composite plate shear walls composed of structural steel plates, ties, steel anchors, and structural concrete acting together.

The chapter is organized as follows:

• II. General Provisions

• I2. Axial Force

• I3. Flexure

• I4. Shear

• I5. Combined Flexure and Axial Force

• I6. Load Transfer

• I7. Composite Diaphragms and Collector Beams

• I8. Steel Anchors

• I1 GENERAL PROVISIONS

• I2 AXIAL FORCE

• I3 FLEXURE

• I4 SHEAR

• I5 COMBINED FLEXURE AND AXIAL FORCE

• I6 LOAD TRANSFER

• I7 COMPOSITE DIAPHRAGMS AND COLLECTOR BEAMS

• I8 STEEL ANCHORS
