description Composite slab construction using permanent cold-formed steel decking has become one of the most economical and industrialized forms of flooring systems in modern building structures. Structural performance of the composite slab is affected directly by the horizontal shear bond phenomenon at steel-concrete interface layer.

Cracking of the plain concrete over the corrugated steel deck has been modeled considering the mixed modes fracture mechanisms by means of concrete damaged plasticity model available in ABAQUS software version 6.9.
