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.
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 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.
