dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the effects of typical construction details on the strength of steel deck reinforced concrete composite slabs. Past research on composite slabs has been centered primarily around single span, single panel width slabs with unrestrained ends. The test specimens in this study are more representative of actual slab construction. The effects of multiple spans, multiple panels, end restraint from pour stops, and deck anchorage from shear studs and welds are investigated. The results of this experimental study are analyzed using methods given in the Steel Deck Institute Composite Deck Design Handbook. The models were found to conservatively predict the strength of the composite slabs. Recommended modifications to the calculation methods are given.en
