Technical Note
Composite Plastic Moment Capacity for Positive Bending
This Technical Note describes how the program calculates the positive bending moment capacity for a composite section assuming a plastic stress distribution.
Overview
Figure 1 illustrates a generic plastic stress distribution for positive bending. Note that the concrete is stressed to 0.85 f'c and the steel is stressed to Fy. The distance yp is measured from the bottom of the beam bottom flange (not cover plate) to the plastic neutral axis (PNA). The distance zp is measured from the top of the concrete slab to the PNA; it can be different on the two sides of the beam as described later. The illustrated plastic stress distribution is the basic distribution of stress used by the program when considering a plastic stress distribution for positive bending. Note that if the metal deck ribs are parallel to the beam, the concrete in the ribs is also considered.

Figure 2 illustrates how the program idealizes a steel beam for calculating the plastic stress distribution. Two different cases are shown, one for a rolled section and the other for a user-defined section. The idealization for the rolled section considers the fillets whereas the idealization for the user-defined section assumes there are no fillets because none are specified in the section definition. Although not shown in those figures, the deck type and orientation may be different on the left and right sides of the beam as shown in Figure 2 of Technical Note Effective Width of the Concrete Slab Composite Beam Design AISC-LRFD93. For a rolled steel section, the fillets are idealized as a rectangular block of steel. The depth of this rectangular block, kdepth, is: kdepth = k - tf The width of this rectangular block, kwidth, is: kwidth = (As - 2bftf - twh) / 2kdepth The basic steps in computing the positive plastic moment capacity are:
!
Eqn. 1
Eqn. 2
Determine the location of the plastic neutral axis (PNA) using Equations 3a through 10. Calculate the plastic moment capacity of the composite section using Equation 11 together with the appropriate table chosen from Tables 2 through 11 depending on the location of the PNA. Note that for user-defined sections, the terms related to the top and bottom fillets are ignored.

The maximum steel force, MPFsteel, is calculated from Equation 4a if the beam is a rolled section or Equation 4b if it is a user-defined section. MPFsteel = bcs (AsFy + bcp tcp Fycp) MPFsteel = bcs (bf-toptf-topFyf-top + twh + bf-bottf-botFyf-bot + bcp tcp Fycp) Eqn. 4b Eqn. 4a
Note that bcc and bcs are resistance factors defined by CSI, not AISC. They are provided to give you more control over section capacity, if desired or needed. They essentially allow you to have a different resistance factor for steel and concrete. Note the bcc factor is applied to the reinforcing steel in the concrete slab (if this steel is considered). By default, both of those resistance factors are set equal to 1.0.

When computing the location of the PNA, it important to remember that the concrete is assumed to take no tension. Also, the concrete in the metal deck ribs is only considered effective in compression if the metal deck ribs are oriented parallel to the beam span. The maximum concrete and steel forces are compared to determine whether the PNA is within the concrete slab or the steel section. If MPFconc > MPFsteel, the PNA is within the concrete slab. If MPFsteel > MPFconc, the PNA is within the steel section. If MPFsteel = MPFconc, the PNA is at the top of the steel beam. If the PNA is within the slab, the fact that the concrete slab can be different on each side of the beam complicates locating the PNA. If the PNA is within the steel section, there are several general locations for it. After the general locations have been identified, it is a straightforward process to determine the location of the PNA. The general locations are:
! !
Within the beam top flange. Within the beam top fillet (applies to rolled shapes from the program's section database only). Within the beam web. Within the beam bottom fillet (applies to rolled shapes from the program's section database only). Within the beam bottom flange. Within the cover plate (if one is specified).
! !
! !
Note it is very unlikely that the PNA would be below the beam web but there is nothing in the program to prevent it. This condition would require a very large beam bottom flange and/or cover plate. Each of the PNA locations in the steel section is described following the description of the PNA in the concrete slab.

Top of concrete slab on the left side of the beam. Top of concrete slab on the right side of the beam. Top of metal on the left side of the beam. Top of metal on the right side of the beam. Bottom of metal on the left side of the beam. Bottom of metal on the right side of the beam.
Next the program sums the compressive forces of those four items, starting with the item at the highest elevation and proceeding downward. As each item is added into the sum, the sum of compressive forces is compared with the maximum tension value, which is the sum of MPFsteel. As soon as the sum of forces exceeds MPFsteel, the program recognizes that the last location considered is below the PNA, and the second to last location considered is above the PNA. Using this information, the program can solve directly for the location of the PNA. Figures 3a and 3b show the internal forces for a rolled steel section and a user-defined steel section, respectively, for the condition where the PNA is in the concrete slab above the metal deck.

In Equation 11 the values used for Tpiece, Cpiece and xPNA-piece depend on the location of the PNA. The appropriate values for these items are given in Tables 2 through 11. Table 1 serves as a guide to which of those tables to use based on the location of the PNA. Note, because the metal deck and concrete slab can be in different locations relative to the PNA on the two sides of the beam, you may need to use values from two different tables listed in Table 1.

Equations 27a through 27d are used for the distance from the center of the force(s) in the beam bottom flange to the PNA. xPNA = y p d + t f top + 2k depth + h + xPNA =
t f -bot 2
Eqn. 27a
t f -bot - y 6 2 y6 2
Eqn. 27b
xPNA =
