Sect. I5.] SHEAR CONNECTORS 47A c = area of concrete slab within effective width, in. 2 (mm 2 )A s = area of steel cross section, in. 2 (mm 2 )Q n = sum of nominal strengths of shear connectors between the point of maximumpositive moment and the point of zero moment, kips (N)For hybrid beams, the yield force shall be computed separately for each componentof the cross section; A s F y of the entire cross section is the sum of the componentyield forces.In continuous composite beams where longitudinal reinforcing steel in the negativemoment regions is considered to act compositely with the steel beam, the total horizontalshear force between the point of maximum negative moment and the point ofzero moment shall be taken as the smaller of A r F yr and Q n ;whereA r = area of adequately developed longitudinal reinforcing steel within theeffective width of the concrete slab, in. 2 (mm 2 )= minimum specified yield stress of the reinforcing steel, ksi (MPa)F yr3. Strength of Stud Shear ConnectorsThe nominal strength of one stud shear connector embedded in a solid concrete slabis(I5-1)whereA sc = cross-sectional area of stud shear connector, in. 2 (mm 2 )F u = specified minimum tensile strength of a stud shear connector, ksi (MPa)E c = modulus of elasticity of concrete, ksi (MPa)For a stud shear connector embedded in a slab on a formed steel deck, refer to SectionI3 for reduction factors given by Equations I3-1 and I3-2 as applicable.
