INTRODUCTION• The composite slabs have now become

a common form of construction of floor decks in major buildings.

• In composite slabs, the profile sheet is used as permanent formwork and as tensile reinforcement.

• In this composite slab, there is 30% saving in concrete material, resulting in reduced structural weight.

• It favours fast and easy construction and also it proves to be economical

Profiled Deck steel

• Thin-walled cold-formed profiled steel decks• Quality steel sheets conforming to ASTM A653 (2008)

and IS 1079 (1994)• A galvanized surface coating with an average

thickness of 0.0254 mm is finished on each face of the steel deck

• Yield strength of sheet = 250 N/sq.mmAs per EN 1993-1-1, 3.2.6.• Shape= Trapezoidal type sheeting• Embossments= Oval and concave

Size of sheeting = 1.8mx0.830mThickeness = 1.1mm(a min. of 0.7 mm ie recommended)

Thickness of slab

• Based on the satisfactory performance of floors that had previously been constructed in a wide range of countries, EN 1994-1-1 specifies the following minimum slab thicknesses that should be used in design:

• Where the slab acts compositely with a beam, or is used as a diaphragm:

o the overall depth of the slab h ≥ 90 mm; and o the thickness of concrete above the top of the

ribs of the sheeting hc ≥ 50 mm.

Where the slab does not act compositely with a beam, or has no other stabilising function:

o the overall depth of the slab h ≥ 80 mm; and o the thickness of concrete above the top of the ribs of the sheeting hc ≥ 40 mm.

• Here the depth of deck alone is 52mm and so 40mm to 50mm is the minimum thickness of concrete above deck sheet.

• Hence over all slab thickness will be 110mm.• This is much less than conventional rcc slab• As per Euro code 4 (part 2) a slab thickness of

110mm will have a fire resistance of 90 minutes

TEST CRITERIA

• Three slabs with different reinforcement conditions are to be tested for negative bending.

• Negative bending is very essential in deck slab design as it is laid as continuous slab at site.

• Usually positive bending tests will be carried out and they give least importance to negative bending.

• Here in deck slab, the deck sheet is at the bottom and hence during negative bending, it will be subjected to compression and top flange to tension.

• 1st slab - Plain concrete with no reinforcement• 2nd slab - Concrete with bar reinforcement• 3rd slab - Concrete with steel macro fibre

Properties of Fibre

S.no Fibre Properties Steel Fibre

1. Length (mm) 30

2. Shape Wavy

3. Size/Diameter (mm) 0.5

4. Aspect Ratio 60

5. Density (Kg/cubic m) 7850

6. Youngs Modulus 210 GPa

7. Tensile strength 532 MPa

• As per Euro code 4 (Part 2) the dosage of steel macro fibres is 20kg/m3 to 30 kg/m3 for increasing the flexural strength and crack control

• Here, we have chosen 20kg/m3• Also beyond 30kg/m3, increase in fibre content

does not have any effect in the strength of composite slabs

CONCLUSION

• The use of fibres in the composite slab increased its load carrying capacity to nearly 2.5 times of the capacity of plain concrete composite slab.

• Also the fibres played an important role in crack control.
