Stub Girder Floor System

The test specimens were designed as spandrel stub girders for a typical office floor loading and consisted of three continuous spans.

Stub girder floor system.

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 finite element method has been used in the analysis of this composite system where it is capable to represent the constituent parts adopt. Early 1970s the system aimed at providing construction economies through the integration of the. The stub girder system was developed in response to a need for new and innovative construction.

The floor slab consists of approximately 3 25 in. The concrete slab was continuous over the end supports of the interior span. This system is called a stub girder system. The structural system consists of wide flange beams spaced between 7 ft 0 in and 11 ft 0 in.

The stub girder floor system shown in fig. A conventional system of framing a floor in a structural steel structure is shown in fig. Of lightweight concrete on a metal deck. 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.

Stub girder floor systems. The test results indicated that the stub girder with the modified end details is structurally as efficient as the conventional system. Techniques that could be applied to certain parts of multistory steel framed buildings.
