It is typically assumed that the concrete carries no tensile
forces and reinforcement is minimal, therefore strength is
identical to a bare steel section.

To reach fully composite strength,
shear studs must transfer EQ

for Y1 = 0 (maximum value) listed
in Table 3-19.
This is equivalent to value C* in calculations (handout).

Composite strength requires that shear studs transfer EQ
n
to
each side of the maximum moment in the span.
If EQ
n
strength of the shear studs is inadequate to provide
fully composite action, the beam is partially composite.
