ABSTRACT
The full scale testing of profiled steel deck for use in composite slabs is generally adopted by manufacturers in assessing their product performance, and is soon to become a mandatory requirement for compliance with Construction Products Regulations (CPR) in European countries through CE Marking. The test programme, in accordance with BS EN 1993-1-3:2006 (EC3), comprises of four series of tests, namely single span in sagging and hogging, double span and end support tests. The output from the tests is characteristic design values of strength and stiffness. This paper aims to describe holistically the development of full scale testing of a revised design of profiled steel deck in accordance with EC3. It highlights the advancement in test procedure and test result analysis methodology. It also discusses moment redistribution in the double span condition, looking at current methods and ongoing research in this area.
