Example 3 (con’t): Design for partial
composite
Check whether one stud per trough is adequate?
Stud spacing along beam = 300mm
Centre to centre span of 3m should be reduced to allow for the primary beam width or the
column width (assume 254mm) Centre Line
n = (3000-254/2)/300 = 9 studs per half span
Degree of shear connection
Total resistance of 9 shear connectors
Rq = 9 x 62 = 558 kN
η = Rq / Ns = 558/770 = 0.724 < 1.0
Degree of partial connection is less than 1.0, the minimum shear connection requirement
must be checked, and the moment resistance decreased.
For Le ≤ 25m η ≥ 1-(355/fy ) (0.75-0.03 Le); η ≥ 0.4
For a simply supported beam Le is equal to the span length
η ≥ 1-(355/275 ) (0.75-0.03 x6) = 0.26, η ≥ 0.4
Therefore the degree of shear connection must be at least 0.4. As shown above, there
are sufficient number of shear connectiors to acheive this.

Moment resistance with partial shear connection
Simplified Equation
MRd = Ms + η (Mpℓ,Rd – Ms)
Ms is the plastic moment resistance of the steel section
Ms = fypWpl,y = 275 x 259 x 10-3 = 71.2kNm
Reduced moment capacity due to partial composite
MRd = 71.3 +0.724(184-71.2)=153kNm
which is greater than the bending moment at mid span My,Ed = 122 kNm

Transverse reinforcement
The transverse reinforcement per unit length Asf/sf may be determined as
follows: F L
(Asf fyd / sf) + Ape fyp,d > vEd hf / cotθf Cot θ = FL / FH
where
ν = 0.6 (1-fck/250)
fck = characteristic strength of concrete
58
Example 5: Transverse reinforcement
From example 3, the transverse reinforcement Asf may be determined as follows:
As there are two shear planes (one on each side of the beam, running
parallel to it).
The longitudinal shear stress is:
558 x1000
VEd = 1.33N / mm 2
2 x 3000 x 70
θf = 26.5o
fcd = design compression strength of concrete
= 25/1.5 = 16.7 N/mm2
61
Concluding summary
Longitudinal shear connection is based on the
force transmitted between the steel section and
concrete slab (VEd = smaller of Rc, Rs or Rq) .
If connectors are insufficient beam may be
designed as partially composite
Concrete cracking can be controlled by
appropriate slab reinforcement
Deflection limits are as stated in EC3
