Experimental Investigation on Composite Slab using Cold Formed Steel Sheet in Light Weight Concrete
Composite slab construction is emerging technique for flooring system. Concrete is a member that works well in compression and steel is a member that works extremely well in tension. By joining the two materials strength can be exploited to results in a highly efficient way. So the project is to increase the strength of the slabs by using steel sheeting as flexural member and concreting is done over the steel sheets. Experimental verification of load carrying capacity of composite slab is conducted. The steel decking of composite slab is made of cold formed profile sheeting which serves as the permanent form work and tensile reinforcement. The project concentrates on finding the flexural strength of the composite slab. The three geometric profile shapes of steel decking are trapezoidal, rectangular and holorib. Concrete used for composite slabs are reinforced cement concrete, foam concrete and fiber reinforced concrete.
