Check the adequacy of the continuous composite profiled deck slab with
spans of 3.5 m. The cross section of the profiled sheeting is shown in Fig.
A1. The slab is propped at the centre during construction stage. [ ap = 1.15,
M20 concrete is used]

The profiled deck sheet is propped at the centre as shown in Fig. A2. Assume
the top flanges of the supporting steel beams are at least 0.15 m wide and the
width of the prop is neglected.

COMPOSITE FLOORS - II
Design moment = Mpa / ap = 4.92/1.15 = 4.27 kN-m/m > 1.68 kN-m/m
Design shear = Vpa / ap = 49.2/1.15 = 42.8 kN/m > 5.64 kN/m

The design ultimate loading = (wu, DL + wu, LL) = 3.25 + 6.75 = 10.0 kN/m2
Ap f yp 0.28
Ncf 1185 289 kN / m

So, from equation (2) of a previous chapter, the depth of the stress block is

The basic shear strength is Rd = 0.30 N/mm2, so from equation (20) of
previous chapter

Vv .Rd 120 0.3 1.48 ( 1.2 0.36 ) 45 kN / m

Vv.Rd > Vsd, hence composite slab is OK in shear.

The design vertical shear is 28.3 kN/m, so composite slab is safe against
longitudinal shear. Note partial safety factor for shear studs is taken as 1.25.
