Abstract
An experimental study was conducted on reinforced and steel fibre–reinforced concrete composite slabs with steel decking under negative bending moment to quantify the ultimate behaviour, loading capacity and crack width under short-term loading. Eight full-scale slab specimens were cast with different types and amounts of reinforcement in the concrete (e.g. mesh, steel fibre or normal reinforcing bars) but with the same type of steel decking. Each slab was simply supported and tested in four-point bending under increasing load until failure. The deflections at mid-span and under the applied point loads were monitored together with the end interface slip. The crack widths were obtained for each slab for different levels of applied load. It was found that the end slip was quite negligible and complete interaction on the steel decking–concrete slab interface existed at service loads and ultimate limit states. Compared to the slab with 20 kg/m3 steel fibre, the application of steel fibre in excess of 60 kg/m3 increased the rotational capacity and ultimate load by 60% and 80%, respectively. Moreover, the higher dosage of steel fibres resulted in improved crack control, as for the same level of applied load, the crack width was often reduced by 75%. However, the slabs with conventional high-strength ductile reinforcements had the greatest ultimate load and rotational capacity and exhibited the best degree of crack control with finer and more distributed cracks.
