Experimental Study on Cold Formed Steel Composite Metal Deck Slab

Composite deck slab is the advanced method of casting concrete slab with profile metal decking used in tensile zone. The decking acts composite with the concrete under service loading. The behavior of a composite profiled slab is extremely complex and is directly dependant on deformability and contact strength. The exact nature of the bond between concrete and steel is still not well understood because of the slip at the interface between the profiled sheet and the concrete element. Main aim of this paper is to investigate the structural behavior of composite slab with stainless steel deck. Purpose of using stainless steel deck is getting higher strength as well as corrosion resistance. As per Euro code and British code criteria, slab will be casted with different shear spans. Flexure, shear and longitudinal slip test will be performed on four full scale slabs. Test result for different shear spans will be compared
