This paper reviews the influence of shear connectors on composite deck slabs, which consist of profiled steel sheets and concrete. It highlights the complexities in understanding the behavior of composite slabs, emphasizes the necessity for efficient connections for optimal load transfer, and summarizes findings from multiple studies regarding shear strengths, deflections, and load carrying capacities. The paper concludes that further research is needed to optimize designs and understand the intricate interactions between materials in composite structures.
