Abstract
Composite slabs with corrugated steel decking are efficient structural systems that have numerous desired key features like simple faster and lighter as well as cost effective structural constructions, particularly in the framed steel buildings. All these advantages attribute to the composite action developed between the steel and concrete component of the composite system, which is mainly governed by the shear transfer between the two. This paper presents the test results on an experimental study performed on a full scale one way cold-formed steel (CFS) concrete slab. The composite slab was subjected to monotonic flexural loading with simply supported end conditions. The primary aim of this investigation was to access the role of shear connector in developing the composite action between the CFS corrugated sheet and the concrete component of the composite slab. M25 grade of concrete was used in the preparation of the CFS concrete composite slab. The structural behaviour assessment was mainly carried out the ultimate load resisted by the composite slab, apart from the mid-span deflection. The mode of failure and the crack pattern was also studied.
