The prefabricated composite slab (PCS) is an essential horizontal component in a building, which is made of a precast part and a cast-in-place concrete layer. In practice, the floor should be split into many small PCSs for the convenience of manufacturing and installation. Conventional concrete-cast-implacable slab construction is widely used in worldwide and requires a long time and a lot of materials, strength and density. When constructing buildings, the implementation of a relatively cheaper and modern automated system will not only have economic benefits, but will also reduce the reliance on conventional systems. The use of the steel-concrete composite prefabricated slabs is significantly increased, as it leads to further reduction of the overall floor weight, primary energy and resources consumption in addition to the overall building cost comparing with traditional composite slabs. Prefabrication was made feasible with the advancement of production techniques and equipment for transportation and erection. Prefabricated slabs are usually designed and constructed as simply supported and discontinuous elements. However, on-site composite slabs are continuous and connected to steel beams using shear connectors. Hence, the capacity of the composite slab constructed on-site is higher than that of conventional prefabricated slabs. This study proposes interlocking connection systems for prefabricated steel– concrete composite slabs. The proposed prefabricated composite slabs with an interlocking system are analysed using finite element (FE) modelling and compared the results with the conventional slabs. Three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) models using ANSYS software were developed to investigate the load-deformation behaviour of prefabricated composite slabs with or without the interlocking connection systems.
