ABSTRACT: A new approach for sustainable composite slabs,using perforated metal sheets as reinforcement,
suitable for prefabricated, small sized, structural elements, is currently under development at Vienna University
of Technology. Compared to common composite slabs with profiled metal sheets, this new design allows a
reduction of the slab
