Experimental behavior based on effective slab width acting as a flange with supporting steel beams in composite floors with openings by Magdy Khalaf, Ashraf El-Shihy, El-Sayed El-Kasaby, Ahmad Youssef Civil Engineering Dept., Faculty of Engineering, Benha University, Benha, Egypt.

“…Three full-scale composite slab models with six different carrier simply supported composite beams (three with T-sec. and three with L-sec.) with constant slab rectangularity were tested.� Each model was loaded by a uniform distributed load (within elastic behavior zone) then loaded by means of two-concentrated loads system acting at equal distances from supports till failure. …”
