Abstract
![CDATA[Results of recent research and testing on trapezoidal steel decking profiles in secondary composite beam arrangements are presented that show that the reduction in strength of the shear connection can be significantly more than predicted by major design codes. Placing shear studs on the favourable or beneficial side of a sheeting pan may not improve strength or ductility sufficiently and may in any case be impractical to enforce. This has led to the development of an innovative component that can be used in conjuction with the stud connectors to economically improve the strength and ductility of the shear connection. The component incorporates a ring and clip assembly that allows the concrete to surround the stud and once hardened remain in place up to the maximum load, limiting the effect of punch-through failure of the open steel rib of the deck which can leave the base of the stud shank unsupported.]]
