COMPARATIVE STUDY OF METAL RCC COMPOSITE DECK SYSTEMS

Civil Engineering

Composite slabs consist of profiled steel deck with reinforced concrete topping. The decking not only acts as a permanent formwork to the concrete, but also provides sufficient shear bond with the concrete and acts compositely. In recent years, the composite slabs are preferred due to light weight, low cost construction and ability to defend the natural disasters. The work presented in this paper is concerned with the evaluation of flexural strength of composite deck system analytically base on international standard and parametric variation. The research work includes study on core base analysis of metal deck composite slab for flexural capacity and limiting geometrical and material parameters under full bond. Estimation and comparison of flexural resistance as per European, British and American Code of practice using developed MS excel tool. Study on parametric variation such as different materials, profile sheet thickness and slab thickness. Analytical approaches considering the bond properties from no bond to full bond cases.
