Civil engineering (General) This paper describes the application of finite element modelling to study structural performances of a dry floor system, consisting of plywood attached to top layer of profiled steel sheet by self-drilling, self-tapping screws connector.

Parametric studies showed 96.72% increased in flexural stiffness when the thickness of profiled steel sheet was changed from 0.8mm to 1.8mm.
