Preface
Content
Interactive design aids in accordance to US codes ACI 318-11, AISC 14th edition and ASCE-7-10
Guidelines of use
After installing a free trial or demo version the interactive templates will be available free of charge. The
only requirement is a registration at www.VCmaster.com.
The examples provided have been created using VCmaster. All annotated and illustrated design aids
can be used as a basis to create own templates. In order to do this a full version of VCmaster is
necessary.
All templates are linked to various databases by TAB()- or SEL() functions. For instructional purposes
these links are displayed in this document, but can also be hidden when printing.
What is VCmaster?
VCmaster is a software application for technical documentation specifically designed for engineers.
The unique software concept integrates all structural design and CAD software. Universal interfaces
guarantee easy data transfer, so that the output of all programs can be transposed.
Beside its functions for documentation, VCmaster offers an intuitive concept enabling engineers to
carry out calculations. The input of mathematic formulas can be executed in natural notation directly in
the document itself. The software significantly supports the reuse of structural calculations and
documents. VCmaster simplifies modifications and adjustments and automates standard tasks.
Collaboration with work-groups or with other offices and clients is uncomplicated as well. As a result,
processing time and costs can be considerably reduced.
System Requirements
VCmaster 2017 or newer
Development and Copyrights

VCmaster has been developed in Germany

Design for Pre-Composite Condition

- Construction Pre-composite Loads:
wD1= 0.001*(ws*a+wsec) = 0.80 kip/ft
wL1= 0.001*(wLc*a) = 0.25 kip/ft

- Construction Pre-composite flexural strength, from Chapter 2 of ASCE/SEI 7, the required flexural strength
is:
wu1= 1.2* wD1+ 1.6*wL1 = 1.36 kip/ft
2
wu1 * L
Mu1= = 344 kip*ft
8
Assume that attachment of the deck perpendicular to the beam provides adequate bracing to the
compression flange during construction, thus the beam can develop its full plastic moment capacity. The
design flexural strength is determined as follows, from AISC Specification Equation F2-1:
 b= 0.90
Mn1= b * Mp = 412 kip*ft

If pre-composite deflection exceeds the recommended limit. One possible solution is to increase the
member size. A second solution is to induce camber into the member. So, the user in this step has to
determine a solution in case of exceeding the recommended limit.

According to AISC Specification Commentary Section I3.2a, the number and strength of steel headed stud
anchors will govern the compressive force, C, for a partially composite beam. The composite percentage is
based on the minimum of the limit states of concrete crushing and steel yielding as follows:
- Concrete crushing:
Ac= Area of concrete slab within effective width. Assume that the deck profile is 50% void and 50% concrete
fill.
Ac= (be* 12)*(ts-hr) + 0.5 * (be*12*hr) = 720.00 in2
Cc= 0.85*f'c *Ac = 2448 kips

- Steel yielding:
Cs= As*Fy = 735 kips
- Shear transfer:
60% is used as a trial percentage of composite action as follows:
C1= Qn
C1 = 0.6 * MIN(Cc;Cs) = 441 kips

Location of The Plastic Neutral Axis

The plastic neutral axis (PNA) is located by determining the axis above and below which the sum of
horizontal forces is equal. This concept assumes the trial PNA location is within the top flange of the beam.
 F above PNA=  F below PNA

Check the percentage of partial composite action:
