Steel Deck and Joists projects
- Design of Shear Connectors Welded Through Steel Deck: A Reanalysis of Existing Data
- Data-driven analysis of published test data towards a performance-based design methodology of shear connectors.
- Inelastic Analysis and Design of Bare Steel Deck Diaphragms using Instantaneous Center Method
- Investigate the inelastic behavior of roof diaphragms to better understand the behavior of the welds that are used to connect the deck to the structure.
- Analytical Study: Flexural-Torsional Buckling of Joist Web Members
- A numerical analysis-based study on the flexural-torsional buckling (FTB) limit states and strengths of steel joist and Joist Girder chord members in compression.
- Modified Slenderness Ratio of Joist Chord Members
- This project explores the applicability of the modified slenderness ratio to joist and joist girder chord members in compression.
Design of Shear Connectors Welded Through Steel Deck: Full Beam Testing to Validate ⅞ inch Studs
This project conducted full-scale beam tests for large-scale validation of composite beams to examine the behavior of shear connectors installed in a steel deck and seek to extend the current range of stud diameters currently permitted by AISC 360-22.
