Abstract

Composite deck slab consists of reinforced concrete cast on top of deck sheet which are bonded together by introducing stiffener, embossment etc. Partially precast technique has many advantages like fast construction, reduction in weight of precast portion during transportation etc. 1mm thick deck sheet is use for this study in which the precast depth taken as 75mm. A total of 3 specimen has been analyzed by varying the material properties during two stage construction. Conventional aggregate concrete and lightweight aggregate concrete are used for this study. Finite element analysis method has been carried out with the help of ANSYS 14 software. Both static linear analysis and non-linear analysis is done to get the actual behavior of the slab. It is expected that by using expanded clay light-weight aggregate it will decrease the weight of slab.
