When designing joints for flooring with supporting structures of roofs and floors in the form of carbon fiber strips, one of the main tasks is to determine the load acting on the joint. The article discusses the results of the calculated determination of the forces in the elements of the connection of metal beams with the flooring, depending on the value of the initial curvature as standard and over-standard. The research results can be used to design the fastening of steel decks to the load-bearing steel elements of coatings and floors made of composite materials.
