Composite Steel-Concrete Structures

Assignment 1 - Design of Composite Beams

Design Brief

Figure 1 shows a schematic view of a carpark structure which is to be designed using three principal elements. These include:

1. Floor Slab
2. Secondary Beam; and
3. Primary Beam

Design each of these principal structural elements using the following design data and that which is relevant to your student number, provide in Table 1. Assume a 2 hour fire rating is required.

Floor Slab
Design a composite slab (please specify type of profile used).
• γ_concrete=24 kN/m³
• Superimposed uniformly distributed dead load
• Assumed uniformly distributed live load

Secondary Beam
The secondary beam is to be designed as a simply supported composite beam spanning between primary beams, L_s m.

Primary Beam
The primary beam is to be designed as a continuous beam over two spans as illustrated in Figure 3, L_p m.

Ensure that you consider all possible serviceability and strength criteria for each of the elements involved.

Assume all columns are 310 UC118.
