Abstract

Profiled steel sheeting dry board (PSSDB) system is a structure that is composed of a profiled steel sheeting connected to a dry board by self-drilling and self-tapping screws. System failure in PSSDB has been traced to profiled steel sheeting, particularly on the top flange, which local buckling with compressive stress when load is applied. Previous research has only focused on infill, such as normal concrete, to study its fire resistance, floor frequency with regard to users, and membrane action. The application of infill other than normal concrete and the changes in the size of the board have not been discussed in studies on PSSDB. The current research aims to investigate the flexural behavior of the PSSDB full and half board panels with normal and geopolymer concrete infill under a simply supported. A model using finite element modeling is developed and its accuracy is verified against the results of laboratory experiments.
