Tide, Raymond H.R.; Galambos, Theodore V. (1970). "Composite Open-Web Steel Joists," Engineering Journal, American Institute of Steel Construction, Vol. 7, pp. 27-36.

THIS REPORT presents a description of research on the behavior of composite joists. In this type of structure a concrete slab is connected by shear-connectors to a steeljoist. The research to be described consists of tests on beams. The purpose of the research was to determine the behavior of the shear-connectors.
