Stub Girder Floor System

Early 1970s the system aimed at providing construction economies through the integration of the.

Stub girder floor system.

Stub girder floor systems. This system is called a stub girder system. The test results indicated that the stub girder with the modified end details is structurally as efficient as the conventional system. The structural system consists of wide flange beams spaced between 7 ft 0 in and 11 ft 0 in.

A stub girder floor system is a composite system constructed from a continuous steel beam and a reinforced concrete slab separated by a series of short typically wide flange sections called stubs. The concrete slab was continuous over the end supports of the interior span. Hot rolled wide flange shapes are also used as transverse floor beams running in a direction perpendicular to the main girders. 18 2 description of the stub girder floor system the main element of the system is a special girder fabricated from standard hot rolled wide flange shapes that serves as the primary framing element of the floor.

The finite element method has been used in the analysis of this composite system where it is capable to represent the constituent parts adopt. 1 is one of the structural methodologies that attempts to minimize floor to floor heights by incorporating services within the structural depth the use of the stub girder floor system generally reduces the amount of structural steel in the floor system by about 25 and the total cost of the floor system by about 15. Of lightweight concrete on a metal deck. The test specimens were designed as spandrel stub girders for a typical office floor loading and consisted of three continuous spans.

The stub girder floor system shown in fig. A stub girder floor system is a composite system constructed from a continuous steel beam and a reinforced concrete slab separated by a series of short typically wide flange sections called stubs. A conventional system of framing a floor in a structural steel structure is shown in fig.
