Steel-concrete composite slabs structutal system

TL;DRAbstract

Ensuring the full connection between steel sheet and concrete after applying a load to composite slabs is still nowadays something difficult to achieve. The aim of the current project is to reveal the experimental results of a new bonding system, under patent [19] by the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC) which its function is to resist the shearing forces and separating forces generated between both materials when the composite steel-concrete element is loaded ensuring the commented full connection between materials and working as a composite cross section. The new method has been validated with amount of tests which results have been compared with different commercial carbon steel sheeting slabs and ferritic stainless steel sheeting slabs, all of them with traditional embossment as a connection system. These tests have been carried out in “Laboratori d’estructures i resistencia de materials” (LERMA)[2][3]. The comparison between composite slabs using traditional embossments
