Abstract In search of an improved compatibility between cold-formed steel profiles and precast floor systems, this study proposes an alternative shear connector for cold-formed steel-concrete composite beams. This connector consists of a steel plate with holes placed longitudinally in the middle of the upper flange of the steel profile, aiming to maximize the support area for precast slabs during the assembly. The proposed solution was experimentally tested on I-beams under bending, composed by two cold-formed steel channels, connected to a reinforced concrete slab by the shear connector. The relative slip between the steel profile and concrete, vertical deflection of the beam, and strains at several locations of the composite section were measured. The results show that the proposed connector assures shear transfer at the interface of the composite section components and shows strength of the same magnitude as other commonly used connectors.

This paper performs analytical and experimental investigation on the section properties of locally produced cold-formed steel sections. Effective width method given by BS EN1993-1-3 is used to calculate the section properties for two slender cold-formed steel channel sections, namely KS200C20 and KS250C20. Local buckling and distortional buckling are taken into account in the calculation. Effective width method has significantly reduced the full sectional area and thus gives a relative lower value for the sectional resistance of cold-formed steel channel sections. The analytical results is compared to manufacturer’s data and differences of not more than 3.37% is recorded. Experimental study on the flexural behaviour on the two types of cold-formed steel channel sections is carried out. The results show that BS EN1993-1-3 has good agreement with experimental results for flexural resistance that included local and distortional buckling consideration. It is concluded that effective width method by BS EN1993-1-3 is suitable to calculate the section properties of of locally produced cold-formed steel channel sections.
