Compos
Analysis and design of studded composite beams
Compos gives you so much more:
- Analysis and design of composite steel beams, including automatic beam and stud selection
- Tapering plate girders
- Variable slab widths and thicknesses
- Web penetrations and notches, with or without stiffeners
- Design to ultimate and serviceability limit states, such as vibration frequency, deflection, beam weight and depth
- Link beams together, so that secondary beams load primary ones
- Footfall induced vibration checks - calculate the Response Factor
- Analyse the effects of using the Resotec Damping System from Richard Lees Steel Decking. No other program gives you this.
Compos just got even better.
What makes Compos so unique?
- Footfall induced vibration checks - calculate the Response Factor
- Resotec - analyse the effects of using Richard Lees damping system.
- Tapering plate girders
- Variable slab widths and thicknesses

Plus everything that you expect from a quality composite beam design program
- Analysis and design of composite steel beams at construction and final stages, including automatic beam and stud selection
- Web penetrations and notches, with or without stiffeners, analysed in accordance with the Steel Construction Institute Publication 068 "Design for Openings in the webs of composite beams"
- Design to ultimate and serviceability limit states, such as vibration frequency, deflection, beam weight and depth
- Link beams together, so that secondary beams load primary ones
- Automatic Section Design - Compos can automatically design a steel section from the national and international section database to meet code requirements and other criteria specified by the user
- Automatic Stud Design - Compos automatically designs quantity and distribution of shear studs or checks your arrangement
- Selection of load types - area, UDL, point, linear, patch, triangular, and moment loads
- Catalogue or user defined decking profiles, plus solid slabs
- User specified or automatically calculated effective concrete widths
- Design for propped or unpropped construction
- Compos Standard – analysis and design of simply supported composite concrete and steel beams
- Compos Floor Response – "Compos Standard" plus calculation of footfall induced floor response
- Compos Damped Floor Response – "Compos Floor Response" with calculation for the "Resotec" damping system
The user documentation gives full details of the capability of Compos. This is available both in PDF format and in online format from the Help menu within the program.
