SCI Publication 355: Design of composite beams with large web openings
Footfall induced vibration analysis is based on:
-
Willford, M.R. & Young, P. (2006) A Design Guide for Footfall Induced Vibration of Structures, The Concrete Centre, CCIP-016.
Resotec damping calculation is based on:
-
Ross, D, Ungar, E E & Kerwin, E M, "Damping of plate flexural vibration by means of viscoelastic laminae".
-
Analysis and design of composite steel beams, including automatic beam and stud selection
-
Tapering plate girders
-
Variable slab widths and thicknesses
-
Web penetrations and notches, with or without stiffeners
-
Design to ultimate and serviceability limit states, such as vibration frequency, deflection, beam weight and depth
-
Link beams together, so that secondary beams load primary ones
-
Footfall induced vibration checks - calculate the Response Factor
-
Analyse the effects of using the Resotec Damping System from Richard Lees Steel Decking. No other program gives you this.
Plus everything that you expect from a quality composite beam design program
-
Analysis and design of composite steel beams at construction and final stages, including automatic beam and stud selection
-
Web penetrations and notches, with or without stiffeners, analysed in accordance with the Steel Construction Institute Publication 068 "Design for Openings in the webs of composite beams"
-
Design to ultimate and serviceability limit states, such as vibration frequency, deflection, beam weight and depth
-
Construction stage design of steel beam, such as moment, shear and lateral torsional buckling buckling capacity at construction stages
-
Link beams together, so that secondary beams load primary ones
-
Automatic Section Design based minimum weight or minimum depth - Compos can automatically design a steel section from the national and international section database to meet code requirements and other criteria specified by the user
-
Automatic Stud Design - Compos automatically designs quantity and distribution of shear studs or checks your arrangement
-
Selection of load types - area, UDL, point, linear, patch, triangular, and moment loads
-
Catalogue or user defined decking profiles, plus solid slabs
-
User specified or automatically calculated effective width of concrete slabs
-
User defined or standard materials including steel, concrete, reinforcement and studs
-
User defined or code specified material partial safety factors and load partial safety factors
-
Design for propped or unpropped construction
