Abstract

"The use of composite beams is very common in bridge and. in building construction due to the fact that a savings in material is effected.

The study herein shows a simplified procedure for design of composite beams. A number of design charts for rapid selection of a wide-flange section and the necessary cover plates are presented herein. These charts are based on economic sections of steel beams when used in a simple span, if one knows the approximate depth of the beam, slab thickness, allowable stresses in the steel and concrete and live load moment, it is very easy to determine the required economical section. The charts were prepared from the results of a considerable number of trial designs which were obtained with the aid of the IBM 1620 computer"--Abstract p. 3
