Behavior of Continuous-Span Composite Slab: A Review

摘要

The steel decking is usually supplied in two-span lengths and negative reinforcement is provided in the top of the slabs over the mid-support during construction. This makes the composite slab normally continuous. Nevertheless, it is often beneficial for practicing engineers to assume that the slab is simply-supported in ultimate limit states and use linear-elastic analysis. This study focused on investigate the behavior of continuous composite slab.
