Abstract:This paper presents the results of a parametric finite element (FE) study that investigates the flexural behaviour and bending capacity of a recently developed steel‐concrete composite flooring system subjected to static bending tests. The flooring system is composed from prefabricated ultra‐shallow slab units (aka PUSS) that consist of T‐ribbed concrete floors encased within and connected to two C‐channel steel edge beams with horizontally oriented shear connections. The study considers three unique types of … Show more
