Analysis of deflections of composite slabs with profiled sheeting up to the ultimate moment

Shear bond mechanism of composite slabs — A universal FE approach

“…Loads were applied at the upper nodes of the concrete slab at the location of the loading. The bending specimens tested by Abdullah and Easterling [7], Chen [9] and Marčiukaitis [16] were selected for the FE validation. Details of the specimens are referred to the tests [7,9,16].…”

Analysis of longitudinal shear behaviour for composite steel and concrete slabs

“…The characteristic for the shear rigidity of the connection G w is determined by experimental investigations [8,22].…”

“…For the purpose of calculations according to the author's method, the contact shear rigidity characteristics G w was determined from results of experimental investigations in deformations of the contact between steel profiled sheeting and concrete when pre-compression force for the contact was 5 kN (pre-compression stress equal to 222 kPa) [22]. Calculations were executed by taking account of experimental strength, deformational and geometrical characteristics of each composite slab.…”

Nonlinear numerical analysis of composite slabs with steel decking

“…In this example, the two composite slabs with the reentrant steel decking shown in Figure 22 are modeled. The slabs in question were experimentally studied by Marciukaitis et al [32] and evaluated numerically by Chen and Shi [9].…”

“…For the connection in the longitudinal direction the shear stress versus longitudinal slip curve given in Figure 24 is used. This curve was generated in a similar way as suggested by Marciukaitis et al [32]. The materials properties are shown in Table 4.…”
