Hi,
I am designing a composite beam. When there is an opening in the slab, we tend to deign beam as non-composite. Is there any minimum slab width requirement for designing beams as composite. I dont see any such requirement in AISC. Is slab width available only on the width of the beam flange good enough to have composite action?
Thanks
