Stub Girder Floor System

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.

Stub girder floor system. This system is called a stub girder system. Early 1970s the system aimed at providing construction economies through the integration of the. A conventional system of framing a floor in a structural steel structure is 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.

The structural system consists of wide flange beams spaced between 7 ft 0 in and 11 ft 0 in. Hot rolled wide flange shapes are also used as transverse floor beams running in a direction perpendicular to the main girders. The finite element method has been used in the analysis of this composite system where it is capable to represent the constituent parts adopt. The test specimens were designed as spandrel stub girders for a typical office floor loading and consisted of three continuous spans.

Techniques that could be applied to certain parts of multistory steel framed buildings. The stub girder floor system shown in fig. The floor slab consists of approximately 3 25 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.

Stub girder floor systems. 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.
