Modelling Composite Slabs in ETABS or SAFE 1

[StructuralAddict]

Hi everyone,

Can we model composite slabs using ETABS or SAFE?

Composite slabs are very common in steel structures. They consist of corrugated metal sheets that carry concrete.

Thanks a lot.

Of course you can. Please choose the decking options when adding new area/slab.
