Composite Properties

SettingDescription
fck This represents the characteristic strength of the concrete.
Mpl.Rd This represents the plastic resistance moment of the section with full shear connection (full composite action).
MRd This represents the plastic resistance moment of the section with partial shear connection (partial composite action).
C This represents the effective concrete flange force based on partial composite action.
PNA This represents the Plastic Neutral Axis of the composite section.
Pstud/PRd This represents the ratio of the actual shear in each shear connector and the shear resistance of a shear connector, and is used to determine the value of composite I to be used in the deflection calculations.
