Shear Connectors and Composite Deck Slab Experimental Study ? State of the Art Review
Abstract: Composite structures are a new generation of structure which is very popular in modern construction practices due to its speed in construction. The load transfer from concrete to steel in composite members is through Shear Connectors. The shear connections are generally provided between the intersection of the beam and deck slab. The deck slab having steel bottom with galvanized coating does not provide much connection between steel and concrete. The control of slippage in the composite deck slab is the most important aspect to control the central deflection. Provision of grooves and other means of reducing the slippage need to be investigated in detail so that the moment carrying capacity of the composite deck slab can be enhanced.
