Summary of study on Composite Concrete Slabs Lei Wang 1, a, Hongya Zhang 1, b 1 Department of Civil Engineering Anhui University of Architecture a 174397043@qq.com, b xkb@aiai.edu.cn Keywords: Composite Structure; Composite Concrete Slabs; Prestressed Abstract.
Reinforced Concrete Slab is one of the important types of composite structure, About the concrete laminated slab of the research and the engineering application are summarized, Point out that the characteristics of Composite Concrete Slabs, the application and development of the laminated slab of recent advances at home and abroad, and look into the future of the Composite Concrete Slab’s research.
Reinforced Concrete Composite Slab is an important form of concrete composite structure, in many parts of China's engineering using laminated floor, thus strong research and development of concrete laminated slab has a great economic and social benefits.
The prefabricated sheet in the transport process is easy to crack or fracture, so the prefabricated sheet structure should be studied to improve its stiffness and strength. that laminated slab with prestressed ribbed construction speed, strong composite shear capacity, characteristic of the flexural rigidity of a larger, but laminated slabs of different structural engineering and application requires further study.

Materials science is an interdisciplinary field that involves the properties of matter, the creation and manufacture of new materials and its applications to various areas of science and engineering.
The development and testing of new materials draws upon numerous fields including chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering, etc.
In this volume, we have selected original contributions related to materials science and its mechanical, civil, agricultural, biomedical and nuclear applications.
This collection will be interesting and useful for many specialists, academics, engineers and also for students in the field of materials science and its different applications.

Two slabs strengthened with BFRP, one slab strengthened with CFRP and one slab without strengthening were tested on a practical engineering structure being repaired.
National and international code provisions for the design of elements of structures strengthened with externally bonded reinforcements (EBR) are also being issued world-wide, the work include the CECS 146 China [1], the ACI Committee 440.2R [2], Fib Bulletin 14 [3], ISIS Canada [4], Japan Society of Civil Engineers [5] and CNR DT200 [6].
Compared with CFRP, BFRP has higher elongation and its price is 50%lower than that of CFRP [14]. so it is widely focused by lots of engineers and technicians on its application to engineering.

ETABS, SAP2000) exists which allows diaphragm flexibility to be considered, most engineers consider concrete floor diaphragms in multi-storey buildings to be rigid.
For engineering practice, previous researchers have argued that the truss approach is appropriate if it is well calibrated.
