Abstract
![CDATA[This paper investigates the finite element analysis of composite steel-concrete slabs with bubble deck. Ten models were developed for bubble deck slab and composite bubble deck slab each with different compressive strength of concrete varying from 20 to 50 MPa. These slabs were subjected to a five point loading system and supported by all four edges. The load versus central deflection curve for composite bubble deck was then compared with the bubble deck slab with the same compressive strength concrete and the stress distribution for all the slabs were observed around the edges of the sphere. According to the results obtained from the finite element modelling, it can be seen that the composite bubble deck slabs can carry more load rather than typical bubble deck slabs. Using composite bubble deck slabs in commercial buildings also benefits the whole building in many ways such as reduced weight of the entire building, concrete savings and ease of construction.]]
