Sect. I2.] COMPRESSION MEMBERS 41ticity for steel, E, or modulus of elasticity for concrete, E c . Concrete tensile strengthshall be neglected. Maximum stress in the steel shall not exceed F y . Maximum compressivestress in the concrete shall not exceed 0.85f c . In composite hybrid beams,the maximum stress in the steel flange shall not exceed F yf but the strain in the webmay exceed the yield strain; the stress shall be taken as F yw at such locations.Fully Composite Beam. Shear connectors are provided in sufficient numbers todevelop the maximum flexural strength of the composite beam. For elastic stressdistribution it shall be assumed that no slip occurs.Partially Composite Beam. The shear strength of shear connectors governs the flexuralstrength of the partially composite beam. Elastic computations such as thosefor deflections, fatigue, and vibrations shall include the effect of slip.Concrete-Encased Beam. A beam totally encased in concrete cast integrally withthe slab may be assumed to be interconnected to the concrete by natural bond, withoutadditional anchorage, provided that: (1) concrete cover over the beam sides andsoffit is at least two in. (50 mm); (2) the top of the beam is at least 1 1 2-in. (38 mm)below the top and two in. (50 mm) above the bottom of the slab; and (3) concreteencasement contains adequate mesh or other reinforcing steel to prevent spalling ofconcrete.Composite Column. A steel column fabricated from rolled or built-up steel shapesand encased in structural concrete or fabricated from steel pipe or HSS and filledwith structural concrete.Encased Composite Column. A steel column fabricated from rolled or built-upshapes and encased in structural concrete.Filled Composite Column. Structural steel HSS or pipes that are filled with structuralconcrete.I2. COMPRESSION MEMBERS1. LimitationsTo qualify as a composite column, the following limitations shall be met:(1) The cross-sectional area of the steel shape, pipe, or HSS shall comprise at leastfour percent of the total composite cross section.(2) Concrete encasement of a steel core shall be reinforced with longitudinalload-carrying bars, longitudinal bars to restrain concrete, and lateral ties. Longitudinalload-carrying bars shall be continuous at framed levels; longitudinalrestraining bars may be interrupted at framed levels. The spacing of ties shallbe not greater than two-thirds of the least dimension of the composite crosssection. The cross-sectional area of the transverse and longitudinal reinforcementshall be at least 0.007 sq. in. per in. (180 mm 2 per m) of bar spacing. Theencasement shall provide at least 1 1 2-in. (38 mm) of clear cover outside of bothtransverse and longitudinal reinforcement.(3) Concrete shall have a specified compressive strength f c of not less than 3 ksi(21 MPa) nor more than 8 ksi (55 MPa) for normal weight concrete and not lessthan 4 ksi (28 MPa) for light weight concrete.(4) The specified minimum yield stress of structural steel and reinforcing bars<strong>LRFD</strong> Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, December 27, 1999AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF STEEL CONSTRUCTION
