Steel-concrete composite slabs with cold-formed, profiled steel deck sheets are popularly used in steel-framed buildings. In these slabs, the platform acts as a working during construction and also tensile reinforcement under in-service load conditions. The shear bond capacity of slab is evaluated this study for two different profile sheets. Specifically, their behaviour investigated by casting...

This paper deals with the economic optimization of prestressed concrete precast pedestrian bridges typically used in public works construction. These bridges are made of a precast concrete beam that integrates an upper reinforced concrete slab for the pedestrian traffic. The beam has a U-shape cross-section. Typical span lengths range from 20 to 40 m and the width ranges from 3.00 to 6.00 m. Th...
