Bending behavior of semi-continuous prefabricated profiled steel sheeting (PSSDB) floor panels

Profiled Steel Sheeting Dry Board (PSSDB) floor panel is a composite of dry board and profiled steel sheeting screwed together by means of self-tapping, self-drilling shear connectors. The system has been successfully implemented in many Malaysian construction projects. Recently, the PSSDB system ha...
