Original Abstract

Composite structures fabricated from thin-walled steel sheeting and concrete slabs are especially suitable for roof and floor bearing structures. Using embossments for the shear connection between the sheeting and the concrete simplifies and accelerates the construction process because it ensures the composite action of the two materials without any need for additional reinforcement. This article is focused on this type of connection. It contains a short review of thin-walled sheeting manufactured in Western Europe and presents results obtained from the experimental testing of specimens. These specimens were tested by vacuum loading and by cyclic loading in four-point bending tests. Small scale specimen tests were performed to determine the shear behaviour and to adjust numerical models.

Keywords

composite action, cold-formed steel sheet, concrete slab, shear connection, embossment.
