This paper present the results of combined bending and shear test on composite slabs
reinforced with steel fibres in-situ concrete topping. The mechanical properties of steel fibre
reinforced concretes (SFRCs) were first determined by varying the fibre dosage from 0% to
1.25%. The result shows that there was not much improvement on the SFRC properties for
volume fraction of steel fibre (Vf) of between 1.0% and 1.25%. Following this, SFRC with Vf =
1.0% was chosen and cast onto the precast slab. In addition to this, the top of the precast slab was
prepared with four (4) different surface roughness i.e. smooth as-cast, roughened in the
longitudinal and transverse direction, and exposed aggregate. The SFRC replaced the
conventional method of using cast in-situ reinforced concrete as structural topping. The
experimental results on its ultimate shear capacity were further compared with the parametric
equation proposed in this paper using SFRC as concrete topping. The result shows that the
ultimate shear capacity was 4% and 6% lower than the calculated value for the exposed aggregate
and longitudinal roughened surface, respectively. For the smooth as-cast and transverse
roughened surface, they were even 28% and 24% kN lower than the calculated value. Further
comparison with previous researcher also found that the ultimate shear capacity for specimens
with SFRC topping (except for the exposed aggregate surface) was 10% to 37% lower than the
conventional (plain) ones. The finding also suggests that surface roughened in the longitudinal
direction was better than the other surface textures using SFRC as topping in terms of interface
bonding.
