Modeling of shear bond in composite slab using interface element

Composite slabs utilizing cold-formed steel decks are widely used in construction industries. The behavior of the slabs is governed by shear bond between concrete and the steel deck. Modeling the shear bond correctly is critical in a numerical study of composite slab. This paper pertains with finite...
