Welded studs to transfer lateral load
Welded studs to transfer lateral load
(OP)
I have a situation where I have a concrete diaphragm/slab sitting on a steel beam, and I want to transfer some horizontal force into this beam using welded [shear] studs. The beam is sized to where it will be just fine without any composite action, BUT the number of studs I'm coming out with (for the transfer) are very small. So I am just wondering should I use some sort of minimum number of studs so that the studs are not damaged from some sort of [attempted, partial] composite action? One reference I read said to use (as a minimum) 25% of the number of required studs for full composite action. But I can find nothing in the code (officially) for this. Thoughts?
