Composite Beam to AISC 360

Verified by the CalcTree engineering team on October 17, 2024
﻿
This calculator computes the flexural and shear capacity of a composite beam, which consists of W-shaped steel members and a concrete slab. It computes the number of shear studs required to achieve fully composite action. 
All calculations are performed in accordance with the AISC 360-22 (16th Edition).
