Reinforced concrete floors and steel beams are widely used in buildings and structures for various purposes. Reinforced concrete overlaps can be cast-in or precast of hollow-core slabs. The most effective floors in which the concrete slab is located in the compressed area of cross-section, in steel beams in the tension zone, and shifting forces, arising between concrete slab and the steel beam, are perceived by anchors. Precast slabs in comparison with cast-in ones have less labor-intensive performance, the beam spacing is equal to the span of reinforced concrete slabs, there are no intermediate beams in such overlaps, that allows to reduce the floor thickness. The inclusion of precast in steel-concrete cross-section requires joints with steel beams, which requires using of special anchors. Anchor perceives shear forces and ensures the joint operation of the plate and the steel beam. In addition, for beams with narrow flange, the anchor device can provide the required width of the support slabs. The calculation of the attachment points of the anchors to the steel beam is carried out using three variants of calculation methods, which allow to determine the forces acting on the anchor. For practical application, a wire-element model has been proposed and managed to get forces in a steel beam, slab and anchors the width of the slab recommended by the standards should be included in the calculation model.
