This paper describes Finite Element Modeling (FEM) of a composite beam comprised of cold formed steel section and concrete slab designed as ferrocement. Software (ANSYS, version 11) was adopted to carry out the modeling of the proposed composite beam. Experimental tests were also been carried out for three simple supported composite beams. The proposed innovative precast composite beam specimens of cold-formed steel lipped channel sections (CFS) connected with ferrocement slab were tested till failure, under two point loads positioned atquarter length of the span from support. The results showed that close agreement was observed between the FEM and experimental results for ultimate loads and load-deflection responses.
