Finite element analysis of new composite floors having cold-formed steel and concrete slab

State of the art on composite cold‐formed steel flooring systems

“…But, a very few technical literature which is related to finite element analysis of cold-formed steel and concrete floor system is found in comparison to the experimental studies. More recently, Majdi et al (2014) carried out finite element investigation using ANSYS to investigate the structural behaviour of composite flooring system comprising cold-formed steel and concrete slab, and they found out their numerical studies to be in good agreement with the experimental studies performed by Punurai (2007). The use of furring channel to transfer the shear force is expected to have some slip, so bond-slip behaviour of the shear connector has also been numerically evaluated.…”

“…However, in comparison to experimental studies, there are very few technical papers on the finite element analysis of cold-formed steel and concrete floor systems. More recently, Majdi et al [31] carried out a finite element investigation using ANSYS to investigate the structural behaviour of a com-failure load. In contrast, the specimen with 150 mm screw spacing but without adhesive demonstrated a 20 % increase in flexural stiffness and 75 % increase in failure load in comparison to the bare steel frame.…”

Analytical Solution of Composite Curved I-Beam considering Tangential Slip under Uniform Distributed Load

“…In the first model, both the concrete slab and steel girder are modeled as space beam element (Figure 6(a)). e second model is based on the research of Yazdan Majdi et al [16]. e concrete slab is idealized as quadrilateral shell element with six degrees of freedom, and the steel girder is modeled as space beam element (Figure 6(b)).…”
