CE591 — Example: Deflections of Composite Beams 4 | 27/ (3
Consider the fully composite beam shown below. The steel shape is a W18x35. The
floor has 5-2” of normal weight concrete on metal deck with 2-4” ribs. This is an
interior beam; spacing of the beams is 10°-0”. Determine the midspan deflection.
Assume a maximum allowable deflection of L/240. Assume unshored construction.
