Behaviour of post-tensioned composite steel-concrete slabs

后张组合钢-混凝土板代表了一种有吸引力和新颖的建筑形式，能够结合澳大利亚建筑业中两种最常用的地板系统的优点，这两种地板系统包括混凝土结构的后张组合板和钢结构的复合板。由于目前还没有设计指南，这种新系统的优点还不能被利用。拟议的研究团队包括所有建筑行业，并将调查后张复合板的结构行为，提供有价值的设计指导，使澳大利亚的研究和实践处于国际前沿。

Post-tensioned composite steel-concrete slabs represent an attractive and novel form of construction capable of combining the advantages of the two most commonly used flooring systems in the Australian building industry which consist of post-tensioned slabs in the case of concrete structures and of composite slabs for steel structures. The advantages of this novel system cannot be exploited as yet as no design guidelines are currently available. The proposed research team embraces all the construction building industry and will investigate the structural behaviour of post-tensioned composite slabs, producing valuable design guidance to keep Australian research and practice at the forefront internationally.
