If you have a concrete slab on top of a steel beam which one do you transform

[@simple_civil]

You can do either, but typically you convert the concrete to steel. It is much easier as the slab is a simple rectangle, while the beam has multiple individual rectangular sections. Additionally, for analysis, you would take the tributary area of that slab above the beam, and use that as your untransformed b value. hope that helps!
