  • Competiitive spans of composite beams
    Šilih, Simon ; Kravanja, Stojan
    The paper presents the competitive spans of composite beams compared with the spans of reinforced concrete ribbed slabs. The comparision was made for simply supported beam systems, subjected to ... self-weight and the variable imposed load. Calculation were performed for different spans, different loads and different concrete and reinforcing/structural steel materials. The analysis was performed in accordance with Eurocode 2 for ribbed slabs and Eurocode 4 with Eurocode 3 for composite beams. On the basis of the comparison of fabrication costs for all possible design alternatives of composite beams and concrete ribbed slabs we can determine spans, for which composite beam floor systems tend to be a more economical solution than the reinforced concrete slabs. These spans are defined as the competitive spans of composite beams.
