Abstract
This paper explores the ultimate strength of the composite floor system of structural steel concrete. ABAQUS, used to research non-linear competencies and ultimate load-carrying capability of such floor systems, developed the Finite Element Model (FEM) in 3-D. A comparison of computed values with experimental results has validated the proposed finite element model. The measured and experimental findings show a good match with an average variation of 10%. In parametric study effects of different sizes of shear studs on the ultimate strength of the floor system have been explored on full size specimens. Results show that an increase in height of the shear stud with the same diameter increases the ultimate strength of the floor system. An Increase in the diameter of the shear stud also increases the ultimate capacity of the floor system.
