Completed Projects

Steel Deck and Joists projects

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
