Section properties for composite slab with steel deck
Section properties for composite slab with steel deck
(OP)
Hi everyone. I'm doing a seismic design of a 10 story steel building with composite slabs and i want to know wich are the best properties modifiers to get the more accurate period of the structure. In my first analysis, i used f11, f22, f12, m11, mm2, mm12 = 0.25 but i'm not really sure about these properties modifiers because i have not much experience in this kind of composite slab.






RE: Section properties for composite slab with steel deck
If you can use the deck as rigid diaphragm and you are using the results only for lateral force distribution you can use 1 for everything. If you are using the model to check DL/LL deflections - just modify the ms. The diaphragm action of the deck should not be influenced from the cracked section modulus of the slab.
