1. Introduction

This report outlines the final design report of the allocated composite beam and composite
slab section of the proposed shopping mall in Geelong. Also included in this report is a
response to the feedback supplied from the draft report submission. Full detailing of the beam
to column connections have not been included however, a proposed beam to column
connection was submitted in the concept report, this requires further analysis and design.

Beam 1 and composite slab section 1 can be seen in figure 1. The composite slab section has
been designed as a simply supported section and beam 1 has been designed as a simply
supported edge beam.

All clauses referenced in the following report are from AS 2327-2003 part 1 simply
supported beams unless stated otherwise.

Table 1 outlines the feedback provided on the Draft report.

Feedback Resolution
Table 1. Draft report feedback
P3, sec 3.2 overly conservative vertical Initial selection maintained; a summary of
shear capacity. more suitable options presented (sect 2)
P6 sec 3.5 overly conservative nominal . Initial selection maintained; a summary of
moment capacity. more suitable options presented (sect 2)

Vertical shear capacity and nominal moment capacity calculations performed for the initially
selected composite beam comprised of a 150mm thick slab of 32 MPa strength and a steel
beam 530UB92.4, show that the beam is considerably oversized leading to an unnecessarily
conservative design. This overdesign has occurred due to several factors. The first being the
decision made during the design of the structural layout in the concept stage. It was decided in
the concept report that a uniform sizing of all secondary beams would be an advantage during
construction, however, given the edge beams are required to resist approximately half the
loading of the internal beams, it would have been a benefit to select a smaller section for the
edge beams.

Other factors affecting the moment capacity include the concrete depth and strength, it is also
possible that these parameters could have been reduced, leading to a more sensible design. It
should be noted that this report has not covered the option of partial shear connection
between the steel beam and the slab. Given that the strength of a composite beam is
dependent on the level of shear connection achieved, this option could be investigated and a
reduced number of shear connectors installed. Noting that a reduced steel section may result
in a lower Fcc value which as outlined in sec 3.4 of this report would result in fewer shear
connectors required to achieve full shear connection.

The vertical shear capacity as outlined in AS2327 is assumed to be resisted solely by the web
of the steel section, given the large web of the selected beam this resulted in an overly
conservative design, which if one was to also take into account the vertical shear resistance of
the composite slab then this would contribute to even more of an overdesign.

Utilizing Excel, a design table has been created by the author of this report to be used as a

3
design aid in the future. Table 2 outlines shear capacity and nominal moment capacities for a
simply supported composite beam given a specified rib height, depth and strength of
concrete, full shear connection, effective width and shear ratio. Table 3 shows the calculated
deflections due to the design loads the edge beam will be subjected too as outlined in section
3.7 of this report.

Clearly from tables 2 and 3 there is a significant number of more appropriate options than the
selection outlined in this report. 360UB50.7 appears to satisfy the shear, moment and
deflection limits and would be a good selection for further analysis. However, for the
purpose of this report the initial beam selection and concrete parameters have been
maintained, noting that this is not the most appropriate section and that this selection would
add a significant cost increase to the building. Valuable experience has been gained and will
contribute to a better judgement when conducting initial sizing of structural elements.

5
An amendment has been made in section 3.7 as an incorrect value of the depth of elastic
neutral axis (kDb) was presented in the draft report, fortunately this amendment has not
affected the total deflection value calculated significantly.

3.3. Effective Width of concrete Flange (CL 5.2.2.1)

As mentioned previously beam 1 is located at the edge of the assigned area and therefore will
be designed as an edge beam. Noting CL 3.1.4 the outstand of the concrete slab from vertical
outside of edge of slab to edge of nearest shear connector to be a minimum of 150mm.

Steel decking ribs are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the beam therefore only the
portion of the slab above the ribs to be considered effective.

3.9. Design For Fire Resistance

The load bearing structural element has no partitioning function, therefore, only the first
criteria (load bearing criterion) needs to be considered. Fire protection of the shopping mall
needs to be addressed by the relevant authorities, architect, and structural engineers. At the
time of developing this report it was assumed that factors such as minimizing the risk of
ignition sources, volume containment, fire escape routes, detection and suppression have
been addressed by others. Should it be decided by the relevant authorities that the proposed

21
beam is not ‘deemed to comply’ a full in-depth investigation into the most appropriate
protective coatings shall be conducted whether that be an insulating encasement material or
intumescent coating.

As noted in section 2 draft report feedback a significantly smaller section for the steel beam

should be investigated. It also appears as though refinements could be made to the composite
slab section with a possible reduction in both concrete depth and strength, leading to a more
efficient design than the one presented in this report.
