Special Structures Sectional Committee, CED 38
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards after the draft finalized by
the Special Structures Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
Composite construction consists of the use of prefabricated steel structural units like steel beams and steel open
web joists (trusses) in combination with concrete elements and often with steel reinforcements. The design and
construction should ensure monolithic action between the structural steel and concrete components so that they
act as a single structural unit.
This Indian Standard was first published in 1985. Since composite construction in steel and concrete has come
a long way after that in India, the revision of this standard has become necessary. Further, both IS 456 ‘Code of
practice for plain and reinforced concrete’ and IS 800 ‘Code of practice for general construction in structural steel’
have been revised extensively since this standard was published in 1985. This is a major revision of the standard
and includes provisions for the design of most of the members and components of composite construction, based
on the Limit States Method. This standard is restricted to the design of steel-concrete composite components and
systems used in buildings.
In this revision, the following major modifications have been effected:
a) This standard conforms to limit state design philosophy, and it is in line with IS 456 ‘Code of practice for
plain and reinforced concrete’ and IS 800 ‘Code of practice for general construction in structural steel’.
b) Provisions for the design of slab, beam, and columns of composite construction have been added.
c) Two types of composite column constructions are covered; namely, the concrete encased steel columns
(both fully encased and partially encased), and the concrete-filled steel columns have been considered.
d) The following types of composite slabs are presented in this standard:
1) Profiled sheeting, serving as form work for the reinforced concrete slab, and
2) The embossed profile sheeting acting as form work and also as a tension reinforcement acting along
with in-situ concrete with or without shear connectors.
3) Improved provisions for the design of shear connectors and their testing methods.
e) Revised limit state of serviceability is also included to check for deflection, vibration and fire performance
of the steel-concrete composite components.
f) Additional specifications on the use of light gauge steel and lightweight Concrete (structural) are included
in this revision.
Though the common methods of designs have been covered in this code, special systems of design and construction,
not covered by this code, may be permitted on production of satisfactory evidence regarding their design adequacy
and safety based on specialist literature or by analysis, test, or both.
All requirements of IS 456 and IS 800, in so far as they apply, shall be deemed to form a part of this code, except
where otherwise laid down in this standard.
Composite construction may be used in beams, columns as well as slabs in structures. Because of the special
nature of bridge structures, where dynamic loadings are expected, this code is restricted to buildings.
The sectional committee responsible for the preparation of this standard has taken into consideration the need for
international coordination among standards prevailing in different countries of the world. These considerations
have led the sectional committee to derive assistance from the following:
1) Eurocode 4 (Part 1-1) Design of Composite Steel and Concrete Structures, General Rules and Rules
for Buildings, European Committee for Standardization.
2) Eurocode 3 (Part 1-1) Design of Steel Structures, General Rules, and Rules for Buildings, European
Committee for Standardization.
3) ANSI/AISC 360 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings.
