When I convert the steel beams to concrete, do I transform the several different beams into a single piece of concrete in order to do the calculations to find the second moment of area of the beam or do I transform each beam seperately into a concrete piece?
Intuitively, t seems reasonable to just convert all the beams into a single piece of concrete as the the cross-sectional area is usually small, but if it is true is it always valid?
