Composite Member Design
Engineer composite steel beams (concrete deck on steel beam) for flexure and shear.
Assess concrete decks on steel beams effortlessly with CalcBook, supporting both standard AISC database shapes and user-defined custom shapes. Define metal deck orientation with options including no deck, deck parallel to beam, and deck perpendicular to beam.
Customize your design further by specifying stud anchor information, including stud anchor diameter, the number of studs in the same row (1 to 3), and the number of stud rows, providing you with a precise and efficient structural engineering tool to ensure code compliance.
Design Checks:
Ch. I3 Flexure
Ch. I4 Shear
Specialty Design Checks:
