Abstract
The use of precast concrete planks as permanent shutters reduces the effective in situ concrete around the shear connectors in composite beams. Results are presented which show that a minimum 100 mm width of in situ concrete allows 19 mm diameter, 115 mm long studs to develop their full shear capacity provided recommended reinforcement details are used.
