Composite Properties

SettingDescription
Mnf This represents the nominal flexural strength of the beam based on full composite action.
Mn This represents the nominal flexural strength of the beam based on 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.
Shear Capacity (Qn) This is the ultimate shear capacity of a single shear stud. When multiple rows of studs are required, the shear capacity of a stud in a single row is indicated by Qn[1], that of a stud in a double row by Qn[2], and that of a stud in a triple row by Qn[3].
Rg, Rp

FOR AISC 360 ASD and AISC 360 LRFD the capacity of each stud (Qn) is a function of the Rg and Rp parameters as described in Section 10.7.6 . For each stud row the associated Rg and Rp values are also displayed as described for the shear capacity above.
