Abstract

This work focuses on the experimental investigation of the behavior of a biaxial geogrid-stimulated composite slab with an opening close to the support. The usage of composite decking slabs in contemporary buildings is growing daily because of their cost-effectiveness in terms of strength, finance, and labor efficiency. Therefore, a cutout in these slabs causes a loss of strength. The mechanical behavior of composite floors, including the deck slab's stability, rigidity, and bearing capacity, is impacted by openings in the floor structures. Typically, openings are made for storm drain pipes, mechanical ducting, or a collection of tiny holes. This research investigates the effectiveness and proper orientation of strengthening the composite slab with geogrids to mitigate the impact of openings on structural performance Key Words: Composite Slab, Cutout, Geogrid, Flexural Behaviour
