Transverse Shear Capacity of Deep Composite Slabs: Based on a Finite Element Analysis of ComFlor 210

For calculation of the resistance of a composite slab against the transverse shear force, the Eurocode 4 (composite structures) simply refers to the calculation procedures of the Eurocode 2 (concrete structures). It is assumed that the composite slab consists out of a consecutive range of concrete ribs in its width direction, which are solely...

The behavior of composite deep deck ComFlor210 under concentrated load

The research concentrated on a behavior of the deep composite deck ComFlor210 under a concentrated force. The distribution of a concentrated force in ComFlor210 was studied numerically and analytically. <br/>The finite element model of a composite slab with 5.4m span showed good agreement with test results in the elastic stage. The parametric...
