This paper presents a review on the effect of shear connectors on composite deck slabs. Composite deck slabs consist of profile deck sheet and concrete. Several researchers have been studying the behaviour of composite slab but due to its complex behaviour yet it is not completely understood. The behaviour of composite slab directly depends on the deformability and contact strength. Here, some important literature reviews regarding composite slab behavior incorporating different profiles were

... scussed. Lakshmanan 2011, [10] proposed nonlinear behavior of stud connected to steel-concrete composite girders numerically. 3D modeling through ABAQUS is analyzed. Specimen of 4 m length and width of 0.665 m with 3.8 m is simply supported. Maximum load observed was 360 kN analytical to 330 kN experiment outcome. The deflection obtained 136 mm analytical to 138 mm experiment outcome. Comparison of interface slips at three different values of deflection.
