Composite Section Properties

The concrete section is transformed to the steel section in order to calculate the composite property. midas Civil,
calculates both Before Composite and After Composite properties. The properties can be switched only by
specifying Construction Stage for Composite Sections.

Results

For the transformed sections we can calculate the stresses at the topmost and bottommost fiber of the composite
section.

Strain Compatibility

Now at the junction of Steel Girder and Concrete Slab, the strain caused will be same. So, for the transformed
section the strain at junction level

So, Strain at junction by similar triangles is:

Conclusion
Thus we can conclude that, instead of Total Stresses, Midas shows stresses for the complete section starting from
the Slab Top, Slab Bottom which is also the Steel Girder Top and Steel Girder Bottom.

So, Stress at the topmost fiber is the Stress at the Top of the Slab or Part 2 in concrete, and Stress at the
bottommost fiber is the Stress at the Bottom of the Girder or Part 1 in steel.
