Funded Activity Summary

Time-dependent in-service behaviour of composite concrete slabs with profiled steel decking. At present, the in-service behaviour of composite floor slabs is incompletely understood, and structural designers have no reliable means to assess the effects on structural behaviour of shrinkage warping, time-dependent cracking, temperature gradients and the influence of prestress on bond-slip at the concrete-deck interface. This project will, through laboratory testing and theoretical analysis, provide the necessary data to develop and calibrate models to simulate structural behaviour and provide rational guidance for design engineers. The project will result in more serviceable and more economical composite floor slabs in Australian buildings, thereby reducing the costs of construction, maintenance and repair.
