Experimental studies on corrugated steel-concrete composite slab
Abstract
Composite deck slabs are composed of normal concrete and corrugated steel sheet. The strength of composite slabs is governed by shear interaction between the concrete and the steel deck. This interaction depends on several factors and no relationship criteria can be found for interaction property from analytical basis. Therefore, the analysis and design methods are used by means of empirical analysis. In this paper, the experimental work is conducted to develop a new scale test method by using two lines of shear connectors welded onto the corrugated plate and lateral beam, in order to increase the shear bond resistance of a composite slab.
