Resumen
The proposed solution of fasteners made of corrugated steel sheet and shot nails can be used as the connector for steel?concrete composite floor beams. The sheet provides stay-in-place formwork for a monolithic reinforced concrete slab. Furthermore, the sheet in the shape of the dovetail caused the connection between the steel I-beam and the concrete slab. The connectors are easy to fabricate. Any special mounting equipment that requires high-current electrical power is not necessary. Because shot nails have very wide applications, nailing devices are available in almost every construction factory and on construction sites. The shape of a such cross-section of the metal sheet improves its stability during installation compared to a flat metal sheet. An additional advantage is the ability to easily suspend the finishing elements by using dedicated hangers fixed in the fold of sheet.
