weight concrete is poured to make up the composite system.
The deck sheets act as stay in place (SIP) formwork and
also as a tensile reinforcement to a concrete slab. Composite
floors with profiled decking consist of the profiled decking,
shear connectors, reinforcement for shrinkage and temperature
stresses. At the ends, the decks are supported generally by steel
beam .The connection between floor and beam is made up
with welded studs or any other type of local connection. The
integral composite action between the steel deck and concrete
is necessary to establish, which resist horizontal shear at the
steel concrete interface and thereby and preventing vertical Fig. 1. Stress distribution for neutral axis is above the steel sheeting
