Abstract—Profile steel sheet concrete composite slab are gaining increasing usage in modern construction practice with the greater emphasis on fast tract construction. Composite action between concrete and profile is generally achieved by embossment. For a new pattern of embossment full scale testing is necessary. In this paper, two composite deck specimens with different aspect ratio having one wavelength width and three wavelength width are tested. The slabs are formed by composite interaction between the concrete and steel deck with bolts to improve bond and load carrying capacity. Experiments are performed to estimate the load carrying capacity of composite deck with bolts as shear connector. Comparison of load carrying capacity is made for one wavelength and three wavelength slab with bolts as shear connector.
