Abstract

Considers connections in frames where steel beams act compositely with concrete floor slabs, the structural interaction of the beams and slabs allows smaller beams to be used in a frame of given stiffness and strength. Shear connectors provide the means of enhancing moment capacity and stiffness by transferring longitudinal shear.

Document History

Produced in conjunction with the British Constructional Steelwork Association (BCSA). Partially supersedes "Moment connections in composite construction: interim guidance for end-plate connections" P143 (SCI, 1995).
