Composite Steel Concrete Beam Floor Systems

The scope of this review paper is to give an overview of current developments in steel concrete composite scc beams and flooring systems as well as to clarify and support future research directions and trends which the industry will take in the coming years.

Composite steel concrete beam floor systems.

This study deals with compartment fire experiments on 12 8 m long composite floor beams with various end support conditions. Each specimen was constructed as a partially composite beam consisting of a lightweight concrete slab cast on 76 mm 3 in deep ribbed steel decking and a w18 35 steel beam acting compositely via 19 mm 3 4 in diameter steel headed stud anchors welded on the top flange. Conventional composite steel concrete floor framing consists of rather deep steel beams and girders which provide the most cost effective design in terms of tonnage of structural steel used. Composite floors i version ii 23 page composite floors i 1 0 introduction traditional steel concrete composite floors consist of rolled or built up structural steel beams and cast in situ concrete floors connected together using shear connectors in such a manner that they would act monolithically fig 1.

As it was told earlier the composite flooring system has been designed at first for non residential building. A widespread composite flooring system is a concrete slab resting upon downstand steel i beams see figure 1 2.
