Design of Composite Beam Column Excel Sheet
The presence of floor systems rigidly connected to the beams
of unbraced steel frames has long been known to increase the stiffness
of such frames. A recent investigation into the behavior of an actual
unbraced steel frame with composite precast concrete floor panels did show
that such was the case. It was therefore expected that the floor systems
would have the same effect on the maximum strength of unbraced steel frames.
When an unbraced frame is subjected to lateral loads the
columns apply end moments to the beams at the beam-to-column connections.
