Longitudinal Shear Capacity of Composite Slabs—In Situ Tests on Slabs in Use for 35 Years and a Historic Review of Design Methods, Research, and Development
Publication: Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete VII
Abstract
This paper presents an experimental study and an assessment of the test results on composite slabs with profiled steel sheeting performed at Zurich airport in conjunction with the conversion of Terminal B. The structure was built in 1974 with composite floor slabs, a steel frame with stub-girder beams, and hot-rolled steel columns as supporting structure. The experimental investigation focused on the bond behaviour of the composite slabs and the influence of the 35 years service life. Ten large-scale in situ tests were carried out on simple beams with different shear span lengths to evaluate the longitudinal shear capacity. In addition, tests on two-span continuous beams and punching shear tests were performed. The data obtained by the tests enabled the assessment of the slabs. The assessment shows that the profiled steel sheeting after 35 years in use still features good longitudinal shear strength and is fit for reuse as slab of Terminal B of Zurich airport.
