As far as resistance is concerned, particular attention must be paid for <strong>the</strong><br />

definition <strong>and</strong> calculation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> strength <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> concrete slab in compression<br />

(component 2 in <strong>the</strong> Table 2) <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> column web panel in shear (component 3)<br />

4.5.1 Concrete slab resistance<br />

Eurocode 8 Annex C (2002) contains some formulas that refer to <strong>the</strong> design <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

slab <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> its connection to <strong>the</strong> steel frame in moment resisting frames in which<br />

beams are composite T-beams comprising a steel section with a slab. The Annex<br />

has been developed <strong>and</strong> validated experimentally in <strong>the</strong> context <strong>of</strong> composite<br />

moment frames with rigid connections <strong>and</strong> plastic hinges forming in <strong>the</strong> beams; it is<br />

clearly stated that <strong>the</strong> expressions in <strong>the</strong> Annex have not been validated for cases<br />

with partial strength connections in which deformations are more localised in <strong>the</strong><br />

joints. According to this Annex two conditions have to be fulfilled to ensure that a<br />

<strong>high</strong> ductility in bending is obtained:<br />

• early buckling <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> steel part shall be avoided;<br />

• early crushing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> concrete <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> slab shall be avoided.<br />

The first condition imposes an upper limit on <strong>the</strong> cross-sectional area AS <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

longitudinal reinforcement in <strong>the</strong> effective width <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> slab. The second condition<br />

imposes a lower limit on <strong>the</strong> cross-sectional area AT <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> transverse<br />

reinforcement in front <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> column.<br />
