Dear sir,
I want to design a composite beam in staad pro and consider the weight of concrete slab manually ? is there any option to stop the staad to consider the weight automatically as per CW and concrete slab thickness? Kindly give some suggestions.
The design output for composite beam as per LRFD 3rd edition code would look like what has been shown below. The software reports the moment capacity considering the composite section.
A gentle reminder for the below query.
I tried with track 2 parameters but a report showing nothing for the composite beam. Kindly advise.calc5 cb 7.7.std

The Design tab is not available for composite beam members because the output for the composite beam design is different compared to the output for non composite sections. You may use the TRACK 2 parameter to get a little more detailed output for the composite beam design.
Yes you need to use the RBH and THK. The RBH is correctly specified as 60mm but your THK should be 100mm.
