4 - 71 A.3 Worked Example – Simply supported, secondary composite beam 1 of 10 Made by CZT Date 06/2009 Calculation sheet Checked by ENM Date 07/2009 3. Simply Supported, Secondary Composite Beam 3.1. Scope This example covers the design of a composite floor beam of a multi-storey building according to the data given below. The beam is assumed to be fully propped during construction. 3.2. Loading The following distributed loads are applied to the beam:  self-weight of the beam  concrete slab  imposed load. Figure A.2 Composite secondary beam to be designed in this example The beam is a rolled I profile in bending about the strong axis. This example includes:  the classification of the cross-section  the calculation of the effective width of the concrete flange  the calculation of shear resistance of a headed stud  the calculation of the degree of shear connection  the calculation of bending resistance  the calculation of shear resistance  the calculation of longitudinal shear resistance of the slab  the calculation of deflection at serviceability limit state. This example does not include any shear buckling verification of the web.
