composite action

I'm trying to model the attached floor system, and I need to make sure following points:

0- Can I draw the composite deck to cover all the floor area or do I have to draw it for every panel in the floor. because when I'm trying to cover the whole floor the joist did not catch any load !!

1- Why do we assign the rip hieght, width, thickness twist (in modeling the composite floor and in the design parameters).


2- Do you have any graphical descriptions of the deck dimensions such as (rip width, height, thickness).

3-I'm very confused abot CMP in the design parameter, because when I'm using "composite action" the member fails and it seems that no composite action consider in the design.


4-why we need the option of "no composite action" OR "Ignore positive moment during design"? !!


5- Shear studs must have maximum and minimum spacing, why does STAAD ignore this issue.

6- I'm entering concrete grade 25000 kN/m2, but staadf tells it not normal and accept the value of 25 kN/m2. ?!

7- What would be different if the rip direction running perpendicular to the composite steel joist, what would that change in (rip height, width, thickness)?

I have attached my model for more clarifications.

Regards.

    Please see the answers here below:

    0. There is no group ABD in the model - hence the issue with loading.

    1. 2. See Technical Reference Help chapter 2.5.9 and the chapters I've reverenced in previous Forum thread (it's a good point to keep the conversation within one thread if it is related to the same query).

    3. 4. CMP - Composite action with connectors
    0 = design as non-composite beam
    1 = design as a composite beam if the slab is in bending compression throughout the span,

    design as a non-composite beam if the slab is in tension anywhere along the span
    2 = design as a composite beam only. Ignore moments which cause tension in the slab.

    5. 6. There's no issue with assigning 25 MPa concrete strength - I'm utilizing STAAD.Pro 2007.11.82. The number of studs is reported in Design tab.
