Tension Flange Stress
This section is applicable for unshored composite beams only.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Precomposite Moment | This is the design moment due to the loads that are applied to the bare beam prior to composite action. It only includes the Construction Dead Load. |
| Superimposed Moment | This is the design moment due to the loads applied to the beam after composite action occurs. |
| Mpre/Sx | This is the Precomposite moment divided by the elastic section modulus of the bare beam, Sx. It is the stress caused by the precomposite moment. |
| Msuper/St | This is the Superimposed moment divided by the effective section modulus of the composite beam, St. It is the stress caused by the superimposed moment. |
