N2 - Continuous composite steel-concrete beams are becoming increasingly popular in multistorey buildings due to their higher span/depth ratio, reduced deflections and higher stiffness value. However, their performance is greatly dependent on the load-slip characteristics of shear connectors. Nowadays, the trapezoidal slab is becoming popular for high rise buildings compare to solid slabs because it can cover a large span with little or no propping required with less concrete. This paper describes an accurate nonlinear finite element model using ABAQUS to study the behaviour of shear connectors for both solid and profiled steel sheeting slab. In addition to analysing the influence of shear connectors on the structural performance, steel fibres are introduced to further augment the ductility and strength of the shear connection region in the slab. The results obtained from the finite element analysis were verified against experimental results and indicate that strength and load-slip behaviour are greatly influenced by steel fibres
