Proposed Specification and Commentary for Composite Joists and Composite Trusses
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 122, Issue 4
Abstract
This specification and supporting commentary cover the design of simply supported composite joists and trusses used in one-way floor systems. Basic design procedures are based on achieving nominal flexural strength before shear failure or local instability occur. The specification considers strength, serviceability, and construction criteria. A design example is included.
