Composite Deck design
Composite Deck design
(OP)
Has anyone designed Composite Decks with STAAD? It seems they have two features (bugs?) to deal with them. The first is to include the additional options of concrete thickness and strength when selecting the steel beam in the member properties command. The other is to use specific composite deck parameters when doing an ASD code check. As usual, the manual, being one notch above useless, only gives the input specification without telling you what it really does or how it works.

assumes the concrete slab width of that section to be the width of the
flange of the steel section plus 16 times the thickness of the slab. The
selfweight of the member is hence based upon the weight of the steel section
plus the weight of the concrete slab.
