It manufactures a wide range of steel products, including structural,rail, rod, bar, wire, pipe and tube products and markets welded is committed to providing to Design engineers, technical information and Design tools toassist with the use, Design and specification of its products. This Design booklet Design of Simply-Supported Composite Beams for Strength was one of the first two Design booklets of the CompositeStructures Design Manual, which is now being completed and maintained by initial development work required to produce the Design booklets was carried out at BHPM elbourne Research Laboratories before its closure in May 1998.

3 OneSteel Market Mills is fundingthe University of Western Sydney s Centre for Construction Technology and Research in continuingthe research and development work to publish this and future Composite Structures Design Manual refers specifically to the range of long productsthat are manufactured by OneSteel and plate products that continue to be manufactured byBHP. It is strongly recommended that OneSteel sections and reinforcement and BHP plateproducts are specified for construction when any of the Design models in the Design bookletsare used, as the models and Design formulae including product tolerances, mechanicalproperties and chemical composition have been validated by detailed structural testing usingonly OneSteel and BHP ensure that the Designer s intent is met, it is recommended that a note to this effect beincluded in the Design Market MillsComposite Structures Design ivSimply-Supported Composite BeamsEdition - February 2001 Design of Simply-Supported Composite Beams for StrengthContentsPreface.

The booklets are part of the OneSteel Market Mills CompositeStructures Design Manual which has been produced to foster Composite steel-frame buildingconstruction in Australia to ensure cost-competitive building solutions for specifiers, builders Composite Beams have been favoured in the construction of Composite steel-framebuildings in Australia.

6 This is essentially because simple steel connections such as the web-side-plate connection (see Design booklet Design of the Web-Side-Plate Steel Connection) arevery economical to use when the steel frame is Design booklet contains important explanatory information and worked examples about thestrength Design method in Section 6 of Australian Standard AS , Composite Structures,Part 1: Simply Supported Beams . It is intended that this information will assist structural designengineers to understand the engineering principles on which the Design method is based. Thecoverage of the Strength Design method is continued in Design booklet Design of the ShearConnection of Simply-Supported Composite Beams (To Australian Standard AS ). Design aids have already been prepared to support the use of the Design method, and are includedin the Composite Beam Design Handbook (in Accordance with AS ) [2] published jointlyby the AISC and Standards Australia.

7 These comprise Design Tables (Appendix A) and computersoftware (COMPBEAM ). Although these Design aids are intended to make the Design processmore efficient, it is essential that the users have a clear understanding of the Design concepts anddesign rules prior to using Strength Design method in AS is based on partial shear connection Strength theory andrectangular stress block theory, and is applicable to the Design of Composite Beams with compactsteel sections and ductile shear connection. Non-compact steel sections can be catered for byrepresenting them in Design as equivalent compact sections. Slender steel sections are notpermitted. Details for ensuring that ductile shear connection is achieved are given in Sections 8 and9 of AS , and explanatory information about these rules can be found in Design booklet program COMPSHEAR can be used in association with COMPBEAM to Design theshear connection in accordance with method of Strength Design presented for Simply-Supported Composite Beams has also beenextended to cover the Design of continuous Composite Beams , noting that very similar principlesapply.

8 The reader is referred to Design booklet Design of Continuous and Semi-ContinuousComposite Beams with Rigid Connections for Strength , and an associated computer programCOMPSECT . Partial shear connection Strength theory is also applicable to the Design of compositeslabs with ductile shear connection, which is also covered in a separate Design booklet Design of Composite Slabs for Strength . Finally, it is important to point out that the Strength designmethod in AS is in harmony with leading overseas Codes, Standards and DesignSpecifications which address the Design of Composite was published by BHP in May 1998.

10 The cross-section ofthe steel beam must be symmetrical about the vertical axis. Cold-rolled RHS, SHS and channelsections may be used provided that the wall thickness satisfies the requirements of AS (Clauses (a) and ).The channel sections shown in Fig. (c) and (d), and the T-sections shown in Fig. (g) and (h),may not be the most efficient steel sections for use in Composite Beams . However, these sectionsmay be encountered in Design when hollow sections or I-sections are notched to allow the passageof service ducts within the depth of the Beams . Optional flange plates may be attached to the bottomflange of some of the steel beam types (see (a)) to increase the moment capacity of flangeplate(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)(f)(g)(h)Note: Optional flange plates similar to that shown in (a) can also be used with (b), (e) and (f).Figure Alternative Steel Beam TypesConcrete SlabThe concrete slab forms the top flange of the Composite beam.
