Note:
The STUDS SPACING must be based on actual deck ribs spacing for perpendicular to beam. For the following total [15] studs, if ribs spacing
12" o. c., the minimum composte beam capacity is from
2 rows @ 12" o.c., not one row @ 8.57" o.c. See software
CompositeFloorBeamWithCantilever.xls on the website

www.Engineering-International.com
for more information.
