AS/NZS 2327 – Composite structures – Composite steel-concrete construction in buildings

Sets out minimum requirements for the design, detailing and construction of simply supported composite beams composed of a steel beam interconnected to a concrete slab by shear connectors, including applications in which the slab incorporates profiled steel sheeting. Covers strength and serviceability design for flexure, transverse and longitudinal shear and their interdependence as well as design for fire-resistance. Permits the use of partial shear connection and a wider variety of steel beam sections and shear connector types than previously allowed. Includes detail requirements for construction loads, slab reinforcement and sheer connector positioning, along and transverse to the beam length. Also included are a number of appendices containing design flowcharts and other helpful information.
