Barnat}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Composite steel-concrete slabs using thin-walled corrugated steel sheets with embossments represent a modern and effective combination of steel and concrete. However, the design of new types of sheeting is conditional on the execution of expensive and time-consuming laboratory testing. The effort to develop a cheaper and faster method has lead to many investigations all over the world. In our paper we compare the results from our experiments involving vacuum loading, four-point bending and small-scale shear tests.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {7}, year = {2012}, pages = {1201 - 1206}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/11462}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/67}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 67, 2012}, }
