Composite and non composite
Composite and non composite
(OP)
how do we verify that girder is composite or noncomposite. should we calculate total no. of sher studs per row? can anyone explain it. i need it for load rating purose.
Thanks
Thanks





RE: Composite and non composite
I would run the calcs to make sure there are enough studs so that you can rely on composite action. But you would also need to make sure you meet pitch/transverse spacing requirements as well.
RE: Composite and non composite
how much minimum studs' spacing required to consider as composite. my girder length is 84ft and from framing plan studs are 3 per row@12"-Can i consider this girder as composite. its WPG, SS.
thanks again

BTW - no offense - you're questions about ratings are making me nervous.
