The steel-concrete composite slabs are often used as an alternative to monolithic concrete slabs due to the time and money savings. The trapezoidal sheets are used not only as a permanent shuttering, but can also constitute a tension reinforcement for positive bending. Design of composite slabs is regulated in Eurocode 4. The calculation of longitudinal shear resistance is very complex and can be determined only by testing on large scale samples to establish coefficients describing specific type of profiled sheeting. The usage of a smooth open-shaped profiled steel sheet is not involved in the Eurocode 4 although those sheet kinds are widely sold steel sheets worldwide. The research of smooth sheets, their interaction with concrete and a combination with end anchorages are therefore necessary. In this article we will describe the design of composite slabs with smooth open-shaped trapezoidal sheets and end anchorages, and the experimental verification on three large scale samples.
