Composite Steel Concrete Beam Floor Systems

Composite steel concrete structures 51 5 51 2 composite construction systems for buildings composite floor systems composite floor systems typically involve structural steel beams joists girders or trusses made composite via shear connectors with a concrete floor slab to form an effective t beam flexural member resisting.

Composite steel concrete beam floor systems.

Collaboration of steel and concrete parts of the structure is provided by anchors welded on the upper flange of the i beam. 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. 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.
