This paper provides the results of the study on the structural behavior of the composite metal deck slab system. The experimental study on composite slabs with trapezoidal and inverse-triangle-top-flange deckplate result, it was found that the geometry of the cross-section was more important than any other factors to ensure the composite action of deck slabs. Hence the inverse-triangle-top-flange of closed box was more effective on the shear slip and deflection than the trapezoidal deck of open shape. These results show that the continuing development of composite deck plate must consider importantly the geometry of the deck. The experimental results were compared with established formulas and were analysed to advance a theory on composite slabs using deckplates.

Composite slab with deckplate needs sufficient bond strength between deckplate and concrete to conduct composite behavior Composite slab can transfer the shear by either chemical adhesion interface interlock, or active friction. There are several way of mechanical shear connection in composite slab. that is embossments shear connector shape of deckplate etc. Effect of mechanical interaction is deped on shape of deckplate which is to prevent peeling between deckplate and concrete and an amount of shear connector. The behavior and strength of the connection between the decking and the concrete slab due to embossments and end anchorage may be estimated using the push-off tests described in this paper We proposed the equation of shear bond strength in the composite slab It will be use to design by basic data in composite slab.
