Abstract
The aim of this paper is to understand the analytical design of composite slabs of different codal provisions. The paper focused mainly the guidelines of European code and Indian code. In this paper, the m-k method and the partial interaction method has been discussed. In general the composites structures are failed due to shear and the shear resistance are predicted by m-k method with respect to European codal provisions. The strength of the shear depends on many factors such as Profiling of steel sheet which act as main reinforcement, type and frequency of embossments and shear studs, thickness of steel sheet profiling, loading arrangement, length of the shear span, slenderness ration of the span, the stress ratio of composite section equivalent to concrete core area and types of end anchorage. The Indian codal provision provides only the prediction of shear carrying capacity of the composite sections. The complete guidelines for the analysis and design of composite sections are available in the European standards and the British Standards and the Indian standards are incorporated upto the guidelines for shear connectors and its design.
